Fort Myers Tip-Off

Fort Myers Tip-Off, Nov. 24-29, 2025

Kick off the season where basketball meets the beach.

If you're heading to the Fort Myers Tip-Off, you're in for more than just great hoops. This is the kind of Thanksgiving week where you’ll catch some intense games, then hit the beach for sunset with your crew. Teams come to compete, and families and fans come to cheer and chill. 

The basketball? High-level. The energy? All week long. The vibe? Laid-back, sunny, and full of good times. So, pack your jerseys, your slides, and maybe a beach towel or two. The islands, beaches and neighborhoods of Fort Myers are ready to welcome you. 

Find your perfect place to stay and get ready for some amazing basketball at Suncoast Credit Union Arena.
