The College Basketball Crown features an eight-team field from some of the nation’s top conferences, including Baylor, Colorado, Creighton, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Rutgers, Stanford and West Virginia. With a $500,000 NIL prize pool, every game carries added stakes as teams compete for the title.

The event builds on the momentum of last year’s inaugural tournament, where Nebraska claimed the first-ever championship with a run that set the tone for the Crown’s high-level postseason matchups.

The 2026 College Basketball Crown will air across FOX and FS1. Quarterfinal games are scheduled for FS1, with the semifinals and championship game set to be broadcast on FOX.
