High school basketball fans across Indiana can learn their team's postseason fate during the 116th Annual IHSAA Boys Basketball State Tournament Pairings Show on Saturday, February 22.

The event will reveal sectional matchups for all four classes (4A, 3A, 2A, and 1A) as teams prepare for tournament action beginning in early March.

The pairings show will air from 6-8 p.m. Eastern Time and will be available through multiple outlets, including streaming exclusively on IHSAAtv.org, simulcast on affiliates of the IHSAA Champions Network, including locally on GIANT fm WTCA FM 106.1 and AM 1050 in Plymouth, the voice of the Plymouth Pilgrims.

Hosts Greg Rakestraw and Kyle Neddenriep will guide viewers through the bracket announcements for all four tournament classes.

Following the pairings announcement, sectional games will run March 3-7, 2026. The tournament will culminate with the state finals at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

The 116th annual tournament continues Indiana's rich tradition of high school basketball, with sectional assignments creating the roadmap for teams pursuing state championship glory.

The pairings show is sponsored by the Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever.

Marshall County basketball fans can tune in to WTCA FM 106.1 or AM 1050 to hear where the Plymouth Pilgrims and other area teams will be placed in the sectional draw. The stations serve as the local home for the Pilgrims' basketball coverage throughout the season.
