2026 Mercer Invitational Tournament Field
The Mercer Invitational at The Hill School has been held every December since 1970, which makes it one of the longest-running holiday events in prep basketball. The 56th edition returns to Gillison Court in Pottstown, Pa., from Friday, Dec. 18 through Sunday, Dec. 20. The format is simple and pays off for college scouts: eight teams, twelve games and three days, and every team plays three times.
The tournament regularly draws more than 50 college coaches from around the country. This year's field comes from seven states. Host Hill (PA) and Kiski (PA) are joined by Peddie (NJ), St. Albans Prep (NY), Dexter Southfield School (MA), Western Reserve Academy (OH), Millbrook School (NY) and Phillips Exeter Academy (NH).
