There are now four women’s teams and eighteen men’s teams participating in the 2025 Players Era Festival. Oregon won the championship last year after defeating Alabama 83-81 in the championship game.
The pre-set matchups between all 18 men’s teams on Monday, November 24 and Tuesday, November 25 will decide the championship pairings on Wednesday, November 26. Teams that finish 2-0 on Wednesday will advance to the Players Era Championship game first, followed by the third-place game and 1-1 teams. Point differential, points scored, and points permitted will be used to decide tiebreakers. After the final game on Tuesday, all men’s games on Wednesday and Thursday will be decided.
Three of the 2024 Women’s Final Four teams will play in semifinal matches on Wednesday, November 26. The championship and third-place game is scheduled for Thanksgiving Day, November 27.
