About The Basketball Festival:
The Basketball Festival (TBF) is a multi-city early-season basketball event that puts mid-major NCAA Division I programs and elite high school teams on one stage. Each November, TBF hosts a three-day festival in each host city: the Midmajor Showcase™ (D1 men's), HOOPBOREE® (D1 women's, from 2028) and GETSEEN® (elite boys' and girls' high school), surrounded by the Basketball Village™ fan fest, the 1891 Club™ courtside hospitality lounge and The Kickoff™ opening night. Every game streams on our own platform, LiveHoopsTV™. We launch in Atlanta in November 2027 and grow to Philadelphia (2028), the Midwest (2029) and the West (2030).
