On Thursday, March 16, semifinals begin at 5:30 p.m. with the second game starting 30 minutes following the conclusion of the first game. 

On Sautrday, March 18, the NABC All Star Game will be 12:30 p.m. with the national championship game at 4 p.m. 

This marks the third Division III title game at Memorial Coliseum, as the venue hosted it in 2019 and 2022 with COVID-19 canceling events at the arena in 2020 and 2021. The tournament will remain in Fort Wayne at least through 2026. 

According to Visit Fort Wayne, the tournament generates more than $650,000 in economic impact and shines the spotlight on the community and continues to sharpen and build a reputation as an attractive sports destination for other tournament planners.
