Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association District III

District 3 Basketball Championships Location Moved for 2025-26
 
HARRISBURG, PA — The District 3 Committee announces that the 2025-26 District 3 Basketball Championships will not take place at the GIANT Center in Hershey. Due to scheduling conflicts, the GIANT Center is unavailable for this year's tournament.

Instead, championship games will be held at neutral-site high schools throughout the region. Specific site assignments will be announced once the matchups are in place, with the goal of ensuring the best possible experience for student-athletes, families, and fans. The District 3 Basketball Championships will feature doubleheaders at two locations on February 25, 26, and 27, for a total of 12 championship games.

"Although we'll miss being at the GIANT Center this season, we're thrilled to highlight the outstanding support and hospitality of our local schools," said Steve Navaroli, District 3 Director of Communications. "Our communities consistently rally around student-athletes, and we're confident the championship atmosphere will be just as exciting." 

The District 3 Committee extends its gratitude to the GIANT Center for many years of hosting and looks forward to returning in the future. In the meantime, this year's championships will be a celebration of high school basketball in the gyms that embody the spirit of the game.

Schedules, tip-off times, locations and ticket details will be available on the District 3 website and shared through school athletic offices and social media channels, prior to the start of the 2025-26 basketball tournaments.
