About
The Tournament has grown from a unique idea amongst friends to hosting some of the hottest sporting events in the world, owning and operating The Basketball Tournament (TBT) and The Soccer Tournament (TST). TBT launched in 2014 and is now one of the most exciting events on the summer sports calendar, with a Fox Sports partnership, regional championships across the country, and a winner-take-all, $1 million prize.

Every year, its open format attracts some of the best players in the world and fulfills its promise of showcasing electrifying competition. In 2023, The Tournament unveiled TST, which exploded onto the scene with a $1 million prize, billing itself as Coachella for Sports – part food festival, part sporting event. In 2024, the company launched an equal pay women’s soccer tournament for $1 million and broadcast through ESPN networks.
