Maui Invitational 2026 Bracket, Schedule, teams, Date, times, how to watch, tv channels, streaming, winners history.
One of the most iconic multi-team events in men’s college basketball now has its field set for the upcoming 2026-27 season.
Only one of the seven Division I teams in the event, Texas, made the NCAA tournament last season (Chaminade, a Honolulu school that takes part in the tournament in odd-numbered years, competes at the Division II level).
While the Maui Invitational has long been one of the most popular and prestigious early season tournaments in college basketball, there’s an open question of how long it can remain that in the rapidly evolving landscape of college athletics.
When is the Maui Invitational Basketball tournament?
The tournament will take place at the Lahaina Civic Center in Lahaina, Hawaii from November 23-25, ending at its usual time right before Thanksgiving.
