We may have just begun the 2026-27 college season, but it’s not too early to look ahead to one of the season’s most exciting times: midseason invitationals.
We compiled a list of each major midseason invitational, along with the dates, locations, and participating teams.
Most of the big invites are set for the 2nd full week of November, with the Texas Longhorns hosting the Texas Invitational, featuring additional talent such as Arizona State, Texas A&M, Wisconsin, and TCU. Virginia will travel to Tennessee for the Tennessee Invitational, while the Wolfpack Elite Invitational will deliver big performances with Arizona, Auburn, NC State, and Virginia in attendance.
One of the most notable midseason meets will be in Athens at the Georgia Fall Invite, where aquatic powerhouses will take center stage, including the host Bulldogs, Alabama, LSU, Florida, and Florida State. Another loaded invite will be held in Columbus, Ohio, as the Ohio State Buckeyes host several teams, including Louisville, Indiana, Michigan, Purdue, Kentucky, and Notre Dame, among others.
We have already seen some fast swimming in the early weeks of the season, and we’ll see plenty more as we close out the calendar year.
