'DB Insurance 2026 KBL Youth Club Basketball Tournament IN Jecheon,' the biggest festival for KBL youth players, will take place over four days from the 14th to the 17th in Jecheon, North Chungcheong Province.

First held in 2007, this tournament marks its 19th edition as a flagship youth event of the KBL. It has served as a crucial stepping stone for numerous star players currently dominating professional basketball, including Moon Jung-hyun (Suwon KT), Yang Jun-seok (Changwon LG), Park Mu-bin and Kim Geon-ha (both Ulsan Hyundai Mobis), and Eddie Daniel (Seoul SK).

This year's tournament has already generated intense anticipation with a record-breaking 843 participants submitting their entry forms. The venue has also been moved from Yanggu, Gangwon Province, to Jecheon, North Chungcheong Province, with matches split across three venues: Jecheon Gymnasium, Samyung University Gymnasium, and Aeurim Sports Center.

Competitions will be held in seven age categories: U9, U10, U11, U12, U14, U15, and U18. Each category will be divided into two groups for preliminary round-robin play, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the final tournament bracket to determine the ultimate champion.

Game rules remain unchanged from last season. All categories will follow a 7-minute, four-quarter format. The shot clock is set at 24 seconds for U11 and above, and 30 seconds for U9 and U10. The three-point line rule applies starting from the U11 category. In case of overtime, the team that first scores four points within a three-minute period will win.

All matches of 'DB Insurance 2026 KBL Youth Club Basketball Tournament IN Jecheon,' where fierce battles among youth players poised to lead future professional basketball will unfold, will be broadcast live in their entirety via the official KBL YouTube channel, 'KBL TV.'
