Baketball teams playing at the Basketball Invitational

Myrtle Beach is bustling with sports teams this time of year – and we are excited to welcome ESPN back to The Beach for the 6th annual Myrtle Beach Invitational on Nov. 21, 22, and 24. This basketball tournament brings Division 1 teams from various conferences for a weekend of action. The Myrtle Beach Invitational showcases these 2024 post-season participants: Ohio, Middle Tennessee, South Florida, Portland, Bradley, Texas State, Princeton, and Wright State.

Up Next:

These competitive matchups will be played at the HTC Center at Coastal Carolina University down the road from Myrtle Beach in Conway, SC. During a break in the games, explore all the thrilling attractions, coastal style restaurants, fabulous shopping, and the beach, of course. The fall really is the best time to visit The Beach, with cooler temperatures and less crowds, still with plenty of Carolina sunshine. As we like to say, everyone belongs at The Beach – and that includes sports fans!

For more information on the matchups and tickets to the Myrtle Beach Invitational, please visit the Myrtle Beach Invitational website.

The sporting events don’t stop with the Invitational. In December, the Myrtle Beach Bowl, an ESPN post-season bowl game, and the Beach Ball Classic and United Bank Holiday Invitational, a matchup of dozens of high school and prep basketball teams, are returning for several days of non-stop sports.

Find hotels, beach house rentals, and more on our STAY page, or book a reservation at one of the many restaurants in the Grand Strand.
