About The Tournament
The Tournament has grown from a unique idea amongst friends to hosting some of the most exciting 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 regional championships across the country, and a winner-take-all, $2 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. In 2024, the company launched an equal-pay women’s soccer tournament for $1 million. In 2026, the tournament introduced a third competition, bringing the total prize pool to $3 million across three tournaments featuring 76 teams. For more information, visit tst7v7.com & tbthoops.com.
