The Xavier Musketeers are set to make a return trip to paradise, as reports confirm the team will headline the 2026 Battle 4 Atlantis tournament on Paradise Island in The Bahamas.

According to a report from Rocco Miller, Xavier will be joined by Penn State, Memphis, and Wake Forest in one bracket of the three-day event, scheduled for November. This marks a chance for redemption for the Musketeers, who previously went winless at the tournament in 2013 with losses to Iowa, Tennessee, and USC under then-head coach Chris Mack.

Xavier fans will also remember a recent matchup with one of their fellow headliners: the Musketeers defeated Wake Forest at Cintas Center in November 2024, adding a layer of intrigue to a potential rematch on the Bahamas hardwood.

In the other bracket, CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein reports that Virginia, Marquette, Texas A&M, and a yet-to-be-determined team will headline the competition. With a field stacked with high-major programs, the Battle 4 Atlantis promises early-season excitement and a chance for teams to build their NCAA tournament résumés.

For Musketeers fans, the trip to the Bahamas offers both a tropical getaway and a prime opportunity to see their team compete against elite competition. Whether you're packing your Xavier gear for the stands or just following from home, this is a tournament you won't want to miss.
