The City Becomes the Court

Forget everything you knew about quiet weekends. From May 29 to June 7, 2026, Sofia is not just a capital; it is the beating heart of 3x3 basketball. The streets are alive, the courts are hot, and the energy is electric. This is not a single game; this is a takeover. A multi-day festival spanning Amik Sport, XOPARK Sofia, and the iconic NDK Square will bring together everyone from wide-eyed rookies to seasoned veterans. This is the new wave of the sport, faster, louder, and more inclusive than ever before.

Youth Rising and Legends Forming

It starts with the next generation. On May 29, the qualifiers for the Palms LiteQuest kick off at Amik Sport at 18:00, setting the stage for the elite. But the real magic happens on May 30 and 31 at XOPARK Sofia. Here, the 3x3 SPORTS DIRECT XOPARK SOFIA tournament roars to life. We are talking U10 mixers, U12 battles, and intense U16 and U19 showdowns. These young athletes aren't just playing; they are learning the rhythm, the hustle, and the soul of the game in a true festival atmosphere. The future of the sport is being forged right here, right now.

The Main Event at NDK Square

Then comes the climax. June 5 to 7 is when the world watches. The 3x3 SOFIA OPEN 2026 takes over NDK Square. The Palms LiteQuest, a key stop on the FIBA 3x3 World Tour path, arrives for men 18+. Group stages ignite on June 5, followed by knockout drama and finals on June 6. But it doesn't stop there. The 3x3 SOFIA OPEN 16+ for men and women runs alongside, proving this sport belongs to everyone. On June 7, the crown jewel: the NIKE KIDS 3x3 tournament. From U12 to U16, the courts become a playground of dreams. This is more than sports; it is a cultural moment. Sofia is proving it belongs at the top of the 3x3 hierarchy.
