Nike Open Hits the I-X Center

On April 25-26, 2026, the I-X Center will transform into a volleyball powerhouse as it plays host to the 2026 Nike Open.

Marking its third consecutive year in Northeast Ohio, this high-energy tournament is set to welcome more than 300 youth girls volleyball teams (ages 11-18). With 44 courts running simultaneously, the I-X Center will be the epicenter of intense competition and elite talent.

Beyond the baseline, the Nike Open has an estimated $3.6 million in economic impact projected for the two-day event. We are thrilled to welcome these athletes, coaches, and families back to experience everything Cleveland has to offer.
