Get ready for the pinnacle of collegiate spirit sports! The 2026 NCA & NDA College Nationals are set to electrify Daytona Beach this April, where the nation's top cheer and dance teams will compete for glory just steps from the ocean. For these athletes, this is the ultimate stage, a culmination of a year's worth of dedication, precision, and athleticism.

While the intensity of this competition was famously showcased in Netflix's "Cheer," the real action unfolds live. This year, fans won't find the event on traditional TV, but every breathtaking routine and championship moment will be available to stream exclusively on Varsity TV. A full re-broadcast will also be available on a 24-hour delay for those who can't watch live.

Mark your calendars: the competition runs from Wednesday, April 8th, through Saturday, April 11th. Action-packed days will see performances from 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. ET across three iconic venues: the Ocean Center Arena, Ocean Center Hall, and the legendary outdoor Bandshell.

From the powerful stunts of All-Girl and Co-ed cheer divisions to the dynamic artistry of Jazz and Hip-Hop dance teams, every facet of team spirit will be on display. It's a non-stop showcase of the peak performance, teamwork, and style that defines collegiate cheer and dance.
