HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – The 2024 and 2025 Conference USA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships will be hosted at Propst Arena in Huntsville, Ala.
The tournaments will be held in partnership with the Huntsville/Madison County CVB, the Huntsville Sports Commission, and Knight Eady. The multi-year agreement is for two seasons with an opportunity to extend.
“We are very excited to have our men’s and women’s basketball teams compete for a conference championship and berth in the NCAA tournament at Propst Arena in Huntsville,” Conference USA commissioner Judy MacLeod says. “We can’t wait to get started partnering with the team … to put on a first-class event for our student-athletes, universities, and fans while enjoying all Huntsville has to offer.”
The 2024 C-USA Basketball Championships are scheduled for Tuesday, March 12 through Saturday, March 16, at Propst Arena. The conference champions receive an automatic bid to the NCAA Championship.
Huntsville will be the ninth location to host the C-USA Men’s Basketball Championship and the 14th host city for the C-USA Women’s Basketball Championship. Both championships were previously held in Alabama in Birmingham.
“Providing an exciting and enjoyable championship atmosphere for the student-athletes is our top priority, and I believe all of the teams traveling to the Rocket City will love their experience here,” says Mark Russell, executive director of the Huntsville Sports Commission. “Huntsville is a great destination—not just to visit, but for sports–and I’m thrilled Conference USA is entrusting our team to host a high-caliber event like the C-USA Basketball Championships here.”
Joel Lamp, sports manager for the Huntsville/Madison County Convention & Visitors Bureau, adds, “Conference USA has a national brand that will provide a larger platform for Huntsville to shine. This has been a tremendous team effort from all of our partners, and we appreciate the confidence the Conference USA leadership has in our vision to provide a championship experience at Propst Arena.”
