The 2026 MSAC Tournament has been canceled due to inclement weather. There will be no makeup date. Cabell Midland (who was the #1 seed and undefeated in regular season conference play) was declared the 2026 champion.

Due to anticipated inclement weather in the early morning and early afternoon tomorrow (April 29th), we have decided to postpone the placement games at 12pm and 2pm. These games are to be made up later this week or next week where the games will be played at the Higher Seed place for the placement game.

The Semifinals and Final game will still be played at 4pm and 6pm tomorrow at Little Creek Park in South Charleston (possibly adjusting times to depending on weather). We plan to give updates on these games as the day progresses tomorrow and the weather situation evolves. Please follow the @msacwv account on X for updates.
