Host
editThe tournament is scheduled to be hosted by the University of British Columbia at the school's Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre and UBC War Memorial Gymnasium.[3] It will take place at the same time as the 2025 U Sports Women's Basketball Championship, necessitating the need for two venues, which is also the first time in U Sports history that both tournaments were hosted by one school in the same year.[3] This will be the third time that UBC has hosted the tournament with the first taking place in 1972 and the most recent taking place in 2016.[2][4]
