The 2024 Horizon League Conference Tournament will run from Wednesday, March 5 through Tuesday, March 12. The early rounds will take place at various campus sites as the higher seeds host the lower seeds, and the semifinals and finals will take place at the Indiana Farmers Coliseum in Indianapolis.
This is a single-elimination tournament with re-seeding each round rather than a set bracket. Oakland captured the No. 1 seed, but Youngstown State is the favorite to win it this year.

Horizon League March Madness Bids
Each conference earns one automatic bid each year, and while some conferences see multiple at-large bids come their way, the Horizon League will be a single-bid conference. This means that the only path for a team from the league to reach March Madness is a conference tournament title. Last year, Northern Kentucky went all the way and earned a No. 16 seed.
