The Alamo City is thirsty for more sporting events, and the NCAA is giving us a tall drink of announcements.
The NCAA unveiled that San Antonio will be the site of two future tournaments: the 2026 NCAA DI Women’s Volleyball Championship and the 2027 NCAA DI Men’s Basketball Regional.
So how was the Countdown City chosen?
Trusting the process
The NCAA received 1,200+ bids from member schools, conferences, cities, and sports commissions across 47 states and Washington, D.C., all competing to host rounds for 87 of the NCAA’s 90 championships.
Fun fact: San Antonio previously hosted two NCAA volleyball championships (2005 and 2011) and 11 men’s basketball regionals.
The announcement
The Alamo City has a strong history of hosting successful NCAA Championships, generating hundreds of millions of dollars for the city’s economy.
Here’s where you can catch all the action:
- The women’s volleyball championship will be held in the Alamodome in 2026.
- The men’s basketball regional (part of the March Madness tournament) will take place at the Frost Bank Center in 2027.
