TACOMA, WASH

The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) has officially released the bracket and full schedule for the 2026 District 3/4 4A Boys Basketball Tournament. Tournament play begins Thursday, February 12, and concludes with the District Championship Game on Saturday, February 21 at Auburn High School. All games will be played according to the official schedule and designated sites listed below.

This year’s draw features a highly competitive slate of teams from across Districts 3 and 4. Puyallup, fresh off a state finalist finish last season and a second straight SPSL Championship, enters with momentum and high expectations. Meanwhile, Auburn, the defending District 3/4 champion, looks to repeat after a championship run in 2025 that included a 55–47 victory over Camas in the district final.

It comes as no surprise the top four ranked teams in the District advance to the semifinals, already assuring themselves spots in State. In the consolation bracket, two spots in State remain, as the pursuit to head into the tournament heats up. Bonney Lake aims for their first State appearance in program history facing Union on Thursday night. Sumner pursues a spot in State against a Kentwood team eliminated them last season.
