If you’re looking for an early-season DeeThreeLax event that’s flying a bit under the national radar but continues to level up every single year, look no further than the 2026 Music City Classic.

Set for February 13–15, 2026, at The Ensworth School in Nashville, Tennessee, the Music City Classic returns for its third annual edition, and once again, DeeThreeLax will have you covered on all the action.

Year after year, this tournament continues to improve from the quality of teams, to the matchups, to the overall feel of the event. Fans already recognize the Mustang Classic as a premier mid-season DeeThreeLax tournament, and the Music City Classic is quickly carving out its own identity as one of the best early-season tournaments on the DeeThree calendar.

And 2026 features the strongest field yet. Half of the teams participating this year appeared in the NCAA Tournament last season, making this an early opportunity for statement wins and great competition. 

Early-season tournaments like this are always exciting to watch, as teams work through new lineups, integrate new players, and figure out how all the pieces fit together across multiple games in a short span.
