<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The<a href="https://www.playeasy.com/organizations/a13d3f3d-606a-40ce-909c-c8f3bf12155c"> NCAA</a> is rolling out a new Host Bid Portal for submitting championship hosting bids, opening October 1, 2026. To help destinations get comfortable with the new system before it goes live, the NCAA has scheduled a series of external training sessions throughout September covering portal orientation, navigation, and a full bid submission walkthrough. If your destination plans to bid on NCAA championships, we’d recommend attending one of these sessions so your team is ready to go when the portal opens.</p>
