2026 U18 3×3 Basketball German Championships: Sporting Highlight in Bad Vilbel
In the summer of 2026, Bad Vilbel will become the hub of German youth basketball: The U18 3×3 Basketball German Championships are coming to Niddaplatz! For two days, our City of Springs and Festivals will be transformed into a thrilling open-air sports arena right in the heart of the city center.
3×3 basketball is fast, intense, and incredibly close to the fans. Played with three players per team on one hoop, action and excitement are guaranteed. Since the 2020 Summer Olympics, 3×3 has become a fixed part of international elite sports, inspiring fans worldwide.
Two professional courts will be set up on the centrally located Niddaplatz, where Germany’s best U18 teams will battle for the championship title. Here, visitors have the unique opportunity to experience the stars of tomorrow live—perhaps even future Olympic participants.
The German Championships are much more than just a tournament. In addition to gripping games, guests can expect a varied supporting program. Two days before the finals, children, school classes, and companies can get active themselves and try out 3×3 basketball.
