The 2026 NCA & NDA College National Championship heads back to the bandshell starting April. 9- 11 for another year of stellar performances and competition. 

Collegiate cheerleading and dance teams will travel to Daytona Beach, Florida to take the mat at the Ocean Center and Oceanfront Bandshell in hopes of bringing a national championship back to their schools. Friends, family and fans will pack the bandshell all weekend long, so prepare for loud and full of action performances, and trust there will never be a dull moment. 

Enjoy complete coverage of the event, as collegiate cheerleaders, dancers and mascots converge on the shores of the Sunshine State to compete in the pinnacle event for colleges and universities from across the country. 

The Ocean Center And Oceanfront Bandshell in Daytona Beach, Florida

The Ocean Center and Oceanfront Bandshell will provide an incredible beachside setting, and the amazing hotel options will turn a week of competition at the 2026 NCA & NDA College Nationals into an unforgettable vacation, too.

Cheer teams will compete in the Bandshell and the Ocean Center Arena, while dance teams doing team dance, jazz and pom will compete in the Ocean Center Hall.

The Ocean Center allows for meetings, conventions and events to be conducted in an expansive venue that is steps away from the Daytona Beach. 

The facility boasts more than 205,000 square feet of meeting space (exhibit hall, arena, meeting rooms, banquet hall) and plenty of parking – all to accommodate events of all sizes. 

The Daytona Beach Oceanfront Bandshell and Park is one of the premier open-air venues in the Southeast, and while it’s known for a variety of free summer concerts, it also makes an unforgettable competition venue.
