It was announced on March 14, 2020, the 68th annual Portsmouth Invitational Tournament was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.[2]

The four-day tournament format consists of twelve games (eight teams of eight players each play three games) and has been held annually since 1953.[3] The tournament is recognized by the National Basketball Association (NBA) and European scouts as a showcase for future professional players.[4] Approximately 200 NBA representatives attend the event.

The tournament typically begins the first or second Wednesday that follows the championship game of the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. All games are played at Churchland High School in Portsmouth, Virginia. Admission to day games is free, single-night general admission tickets are available at the door. Discounted four-day passes are sold at the Portsmouth Visitor Center.
