Conference USA announced Friday an extension of its partnership with the city of Huntsville, Alabama, to host an expanded slate of championship events through 2029, in conjunction with the Huntsville/Madison County Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Huntsville Sports Commission.

The agreement will bring the next three CUSA Basketball Championships (2027-29), the next three CUSA Beach Volleyball Championships (2027-29) and the 2026 and 2028 CUSA Cross Country Championships to Huntsville.

“Huntsville has proven to be an exceptional host and partner for Conference USA championships,” CUSA Commissioner Judy MacLeod said in a news release. “Extending and expanding this partnership allows us to continue delivering first-class championship experiences for our student-athletes while showcasing the area’s outstanding venues, hospitality and commitment to collegiate athletics. We are excited to build on this momentum in the coming years.”

The continuation of these championship events solidifies Huntsville’s role as a cornerstone destination for Conference USA athletics.

“We are proud to continue our partnership with Conference USA to bring outstanding student-athletes to Huntsville for high-level competition,” Huntsville mayor Tommy Battle said. “These events showcase our city, energize our economy, and create exceptional experiences for athletes, fans and visitors alike.”

The city is preparing to host the Air National Guard CUSA Basketball Championships for the third-straight season and previously hosted the 2025 CUSA Cross Country Championships and 2022 CUSA Beach Volleyball Championships.
