The Players Era Festival is an American early-season college basketball tournament. The tournament takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada, with games being played at MGM Grand Garden Arena and Michelob Ultra Arena during the Thanksgiving week. The tournament was created to give at least $1 million toward each team's name, image and likeness (NIL). The inaugural edition was played during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.
