The region is hosted by AfterShocks (Wichita State alumni) and also features Purple & Black (Kansas State alumni), Self Made (Kansas alumni), Team Colorado (Colorado alumni), Iowa United, Sideline Cancer and Fort Hood Wounded Warriors.
Golden Eagles, who received the top seed in Wichita after a run to the TBT semifinals in 2018, will take on the eighth-seeded Fort Hood Wounded Warriors in their first-round matchup at 6 p.m. CT on Friday, July 26 (game time subject to change) live on WatchESPN. If they were to advance, Golden Eagles would face the winner of Purple & Black and Team Colorado on Saturday, July 27 at 1 p.m. CT on ESPN. The championship game of the Wichita Regional will be held on Sunday, July 28 at 2 p.m. CT and also can be seen on ESPN.
