The NCBBA Men’s National Championship is one of the premier events in collegiate club basketball, showcasing top men’s programs from across the country in a high intensity postseason setting. Held April 10 through April 12 at the Highmark Events Center, the tournament brings together the nation’s strongest NCBBA teams for three days of competitive play. Programs earn their place through strong regular season performances and postseason qualification, creating a championship environment that highlights athleticism, preparation, and competitive drive.
The tournament follows a single elimination format that progresses from the opening round to the championship game over the course of the weekend. With each matchup serving as a win or go home scenario, the event is structured to produce exciting games and high pressure moments that test both team strategy and individual execution. By the conclusion of the final day, one team will be crowned the 2026 National Champion, securing the highest honor in men’s collegiate club basketball.
A highlight of the weekend takes place on Saturday April 11 with the 10th annual NCBBA Skills Competition. This long running event showcases individual player abilities in areas such as shooting, ball handling, and speed, giving athletes another platform to demonstrate their talents outside of traditional game play.
