The Junior All-Native Basketball Tournament is currently underway at the Langley Events Centre in Langley, British Columbia, marking its 50th anniversary from March 15 to March 20, 2026. This major event brings together young Indigenous athletes from across the province to compete and celebrate their cultural heritage through sport.
The youth tournament moves to different communities every year, while the adult All Native Basketball Tournament is hosted permanently in Prince Rupert. That separate competition has been a local tradition since 1947 and is recognized as one of the largest Indigenous sporting gatherings in Canada.
The 2026 edition of the junior tournament is co-hosted by the Vancouver Bandits professional basketball team, the Bandits Community Foundation, Vancity Nation Basketball, and the Kwantlen First Nation. Local residents and fans can follow the week-long series of matches through media coverage provided by the CFNR Network.
