CIAA Tournament
2026 CIAA Basketball Tournament
February 24-28, 2026 | Baltimore, MD
#FebruaryIsCIAA
Every year, we come together to create memories and build the legacy of the nation's oldest historically Black athletic conference, the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). February — recognized nationally as Black History Month — is our time to celebrate and showcase our rich history, culture and HBCU championship basketball.
Bowie State is once again proud to serve as the host institution for this highly anticipated week of men and women’s basketball, a career expo, step show and more.
Bulldogs, join us for a variety of events to kick off the excitement and show your BSU pride on campus and in Baltimore!
The official bracket of the 2026 CIAA Men's and Women's Basketball Tournament will be announced at 8 p.m. on February 21, 2026. Visit the CIAA website for more information and to purchase tickets.
