The 2017 WAC Women's Basketball Tournament is an upcoming tournament which will be held on March 9–12, 2017 at the Orleans Arena in Paradise, Nevada. The #1 seed in the tournament will receive a first round bye to the semifinals. Grand Canyon will not compete in the 2017 women's basketball tournament. As a D2 to D1 transitioning school, they are ineligible to compete in the NCAA tournament until the 2018 season, so they can not win the conference tournament since the winner receives an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. However Grand Canyon is eligible to win the regular season title and is eligible to compete in the WNIT or WBI should they be invited. The winner of the WAC Tournament earns an automatic trip to the 2017 NCAA Tournament.
