Players Era has reached a multiyear agreement with ESPN that will make the network the exclusive broadcast partner for the Players Era Men’s Championships.
The event, organized by Players Era, an EverWonder Studio company, is also set to expand to 24 teams. The move marks a significant scale-up for the November tournament as it continues to establish its place on the college basketball calendar.

The addition of more teams broadens the tournament’s footprint and increases the number of programs participating in the early-season showcase. With ESPN holding exclusive broadcast rights under the new agreement, the event will have a consistent national television platform throughout the partnership.
