HAYS, Kan. - All-session tickets for the 2026 MIAA Basketball Championship Tournament are currently being sold by the Fort Hays State Athletics Office for $60. By purchasing early through FHSU, you receive a $25 discount from the box-office price of $85. The tournament takes place inside historic Municipal Auditorium in downtown Kansas City for the 23rd time this season, with games held March 4-8.
 
Tickets can be purchased in the FHSU Athletic Office (Office 138 of Cunningham Hall) on the campus of Fort Hays State University during business hours (8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. weekdays) or by calling the office at (785) 628-4050. The tickets will also be available for purchase at Gate 1 during Fort Hays State's final five regular season home contests (January 29, 31 and February 12, 14, 26).
 
Games take place over five consecutive days, with seeds seven through 10 playing opening round games on Wednesday, March 4. The second day (March 5) will feature the top two seeds against Wednesday's winners. Quarterfinal games on Friday (March 6) will be No. 3 through No. 6 seed matchups. The semifinals will be on Saturday (March 7) and the championship games will be on Sunday (March 8). This year the women play the afternoon sessions on each of the first four days, and the men will play the evening sessions. Championship Sunday is just one session.
 
Adult single-session tickets for the tournament are $25 each. Student single-session tickets are $10 each and children ages 6 and under are FREE. Take advantage of the cost savings, as supplies are limited through the FHSU Athletics Office.
 
This is the seventh year the conference will have a 10-team format for both women and men, with all games inside of Municipal Auditorium. Fort Hays State was the lone institution that had both men's and women's teams reach at least the semifinals of the tournament each of the last four seasons.
