The high school basketball showcase known for nearly two decades as the GEICO Nationals has new sponsorship.
The tournament is rebranding as the Chipotle High School Basketball Nationals, it was announced on Thursday. It will now take place at Brownsburg High School in Brownsburg, Ind., about 20 miles outside of Indianapolis, after being played in Fort Myers, Fla., since 2021.
The 2024 boys and girls basketball showcase will take place from April 4-6. All games will be broadcast on ESPN platforms, whether ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU.
Competing teams will be announced in mid-March.
Last year, Link Academy (Branson, Mo.) took down AZ Compass Prep (Chandler, Ariz.) to win the boys title and Montverde Academy (Fla.) beat Long Island Lutheran (N.Y.) to win the girls championship. The final tournament under the sponsor of GEICO turned out to be a record-breaking event, as Link’s Elliot Cadeau set the record for assists in the tournament (29) and LoLu’s Kate Koval set a single-game scoring record with 38 points.
We’re excited to welcome the #ChipotleNationals to the Circle City from April 4-6, the weekend before the Total Solar Eclipse!

Now, the rights are turned to Chipotle, and the hosting honor goes to Indiana, which just had some practice with the 2024 NBA All-Star Game.
As the calendar turns to April, we’ll see some future NBA and WNBA all-stars play in Brownsburg.
