EVENT LOCATION: IM Circle – Michigan State University

As part of the national NCDA landscape—which features programs such as Ohio State, Kentucky, DePaul, Nebraska, Penn State, and Maryland—the Michigan Dodgeball Cup stands as a centerpiece of the league’s competitive calendar.

MSU, one of the NCDA’s most accomplished programs, enters 2026 with eight Final Four appearances and nine straight National Quarterfinals under its belt.

For over 21 years, the MDC has delivered unforgettable rivalries, dramatic finishes, and championship-level play. Its impact on the national title picture is unmatched: 17 MDC champions have gone on to win the NCDA National Championship. While four of the five competing teams have claimed an MDC title, WMU still hunts for its first, adding extra intrigue each year. GVSU holds the longest streak with six straight titles, while MSU carries a three-year win streak into 2026.

The court—honored as “The House that Bomis Built”—pays tribute to MSU and NCDA founder Aleks Bomis, whose vision helped shape the event into the iconic tradition it is today.

Get ready for a full weekend of tradition, rivalry, and world-class collegiate dodgeball. Five teams enter. One leaves a champion.

Save the date — MDC 2026 is coming.
