The D-III tournament will take place on May 21-23, returning to Milwaukee for the first time since 2013. The D-I tournament will take place the following weekend, over Memorial Day, from May 27-30, its third time occurring in Milwaukee since 2015 and 2018.
“Milwaukee Ultimate is very excited to host this year’s D-III and D-I tournaments,” said tournament director and Milwaukee Ultimate president Scott Severson. “This is the pinnacle of college ultimate and to be able to host not one, but two tournaments is an incredible honor and challenge. We cannot wait to host the best of the best college athletes, strive to creating the best college nationals experience we can and create memories for all of the competing student-athletes. We want to showcase the beauty of ultimate frisbee and share our sport with everyone.”
