The NAIA National Championship will be on May 12th-15th, 2026, at TPC Deere Run in Silvis, IL
Two new teams made their way into the top 25 - Southeastern (Fla.) at No. 24 and William Woods (Mo.) at No. 25 - while Webber International (Fla.) made the biggest top 10 climb, from No. 15 in the fall to No. 4 to begin the spring.
