The top eight men’s and women’s teams will compete in the 2026 Credit Union 1 Big West Basketball Championships. The championship format automatically advances the top two seeds into the semifinals of the four-day event, with each tournament champion earning a conference title and an automatic berth into the 2026 NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships.
Play begins Wednesday as seeds No. 5 through No. 8 take the court to advance to the quarterfinals, where the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds open postseason play on Thursday. The top two seeds begin their championship runs on Friday, with the tournament finals set for Saturday night at Lee’s Family Forum.
UC San Diego Tritons claimed both the men’s and women’s basketball championships in 2025, earning The Big West crown in the program’s first year of full NCAA Division I membership and postseason eligibility.
