NCAA Swimming Championships Return to Austin for 2027 and 2028
The NCAA on Wednesday announced championship sites for the 2026-27 and 2027-28 academic years, with Austin, Texas, getting the NCAA swimming championships both years.
The Lee & Joe Jamail Texas Swimming Center will host the Division I men’s and women’s swimming and diving championships in both 2027 and 2028.
Austin has hosted the men’s NCAA championships on eight occasions and the women’s seven times. The last time for each was in 2019.
The NCAA has gone back and forth between hosting men’s and women’s at the same sites. In 2022, both were in Atlanta, but they’ve diverged to separate men’s and women’s sites in 2023 and 2024.
Both men’s and women’s NCAAs will be in the same sites for each of the next four years. In 2025, that is Weyerhaeuser King County Aquatics Center in Federal Way, Washington. The 2026 meets will be at the McAuley Aquatic Center in Atlanta, the consecutive years with both meets held on successive weekends in Austin.
Also announced on Wednesday were the homes for the Division II and Division III championship meets. The 2027 and 2028 Division II Championships will call the IU Natatorium in Indianapolis home. Indy has hosted the meet five times since 2006.
The Division III Championships will be held at the Greensboro Aquatic Center. That meet has been at only three locations – GAC, IU Natatorium and the Conroe Independent School District Natatorium in Shenandoah, Texas – since 2012. Greensboro hosted the 2016, 2019, 2023 and 2024 D3 championships, while it is scheduled to also host the 2025 meet before the 2026 shifts to IU Natatorium.
