Nike Hoop Summit 2026

So, we only have one question for you all : y’all ready for some basketball?! Right when the Spring hits and the weather gets a LITTTLLLE warm - we’re all here for the next storm of sports and basketball. And back again for another party here at the Moda Center - home to the Trailblazers, and sitting right here in the heart of Portland - are ready to take you back to the beginning of where legendary stories happy right on the court.: The 2026 Nike Hoop Summit, happening Saturday, April 11th. This yearly showdown is the moment where tomorrow’s biggest stars step into their glow today, where the gym is packed with scouts, fans and families, and where you just KNOW you’re sitting next to hoops fans who are coming to witness  greatness before it becomes greatness. With Nike as the mastermind behind this entire operation, the whole night is buzzing with celebration of the new guard of talent, ambition, and the soul of basketball from across the world - and we’re so ready to see it all unfold live on our home court, and to see you in the stands too!

The Nike Hoop Summit has been a cornerstone of young players basketball culture since its debut back in 1995, and its legacy is honestly wild. This is where the top U.S. high school seniors face off against the world’s best under-19 players - kind of like the McDonald’s All American game but on ten. A USA-vs-World battle that has birthed NBA superstars since it’s debut - like Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Jayson Tatu, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander…. And this list goes on and on full of Hall of Famer top 5s that you’d always want in your back pockets in Playoff season. Every year, the Moda becomes the launchpad for the next generation, and every year fans walk away saying, “I saw them before the world did.” That’s a flex. 

The 2026 edition keeps the global energy high with both a women’s and men’s game, doubling the excitement and widening the stage for young stars from across the world. There aren’t trophies or cash prizes here — the prize is the moment itself: the opportunity, the exposure, the beginning of something big. And for the fans? The prize is bragging rights for life. And the players? A chance to be the next MJ. 

So lace up, Portland - time to hit the wood. Grab your tickets today, and we’ll see you inside the Moda Center for a night you’ll never forget. See you soon.
