McKinney is quickly becoming the destination for sporting events in the metroplex. Each year, thousands of people come to town to participate in or cheer for a wide range of sporting events. Watch high school or collegiate football games at the McKinney ISD Stadium & Community Event Center. Cheer for your favorite lacrosse, soccer, baseball, or softball youth or adult game at various facilities around town. Or meet at The Courts Tennis Facility for a game of tennis or even a pickleball tournament. And of course, enjoy some time on the greens of a local public course or watch the pros at The CJ CUP Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch each May each year.
