Spectators

Information

The 27th Annual NIKE Tournament of Champions is scheduled to take place from July 18th to July 21st, 2025 at the McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago, IL. This tournament is a stay-to-play event, which means that all teams, parents, and spectators must stay in designated hotels. Fortunately, discounted hotel rooms are available for everyone attending the event.

During the tournament, you can purchase discounted four-day event passes or event day passes. Presale tickets will be available closer to the event dates.

In Chicago, the box office is controlled by McCormick Place, not the Tournament of Champions. To save money, you now have the opportunity to buy your tournament and shuttle passes in advance online. In addition to the cost savings, purchasing in advance will also allow you to skip the long ticket lines at McCormick Place. All online orders must be placed prior to Wednesday, July 16.

Every individual person will need to scan in prior to going through the metal detectors. Please plan to arrive early as there may be lines to enter the courts.

If you can’t make it to the event in-person, don’t worry. You can still catch all the action by purchasing an unlimited streaming package. The streaming package can be purchased closer to the event dates.

HOTELS

The Tournament of Champions is a stay-to-play event. All teams traveling from outside the Chicago-Metro area are required to secure reservations through our official housing partner, Traveling Teams.

CERTIFIED ATHLETIC TRAINERS

Certified athletic trainers will be available 30 minutes prior to the first game until the conclusion of the last game on each day. Trainer stations will be clearly marked and located throughout the playing area. Players wishing to be taped prior to games are responsible for providing their own tape and pre-wrap.

WAIVER OF LIABILITY

In order to compete, all athletes must have a Waiver of Liability signed by a parent or guardian. The waiver is done entirely online; if it is not completed by July 1st, the athlete may not compete.
