USSSA will sanction over 200 NIT Tournaments in 2026. NIT’s are tournaments that award World Series berths and higher team points.
In 2026 there will also be Super NIT’s. These Super NIT’s will award the usual World Series berths and will also award a berth to the Elite World Series. The Super NIT’s will also award higher points than a NIT.
Teams that win World Series berths from an NIT or Super NIT Tournament must play in the State Championship in their home state to be eligible to play in the World Series.
Contact your State Director for information on State Championships.
