SAN BRUNO, Calif. - The West Coast Conference (WCC) officially announced its bracket for the upcoming 2026 Credit Union 1 WCC Men's Basketball Championship on Sunday morning.

San Francisco, which finished 16-15 overall and 8-10 in conference play, has earned the No. 5 seed. The tournament will be held from Mar. 5-10 at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nev.

Pacific, San Francisco, and Seattle U are tied for fifth place in the standings with an 8-10 league record. Conference tiebreaker policies involving three or more teams place the teams in a pod, comparing head-to-head results. The team with the best record, as determined by winning percentage, even if unequal games in the conference's unbalanced schedule, is seeded the highest, and the team with the worst record is seeded the lowest. In the pod, San Francisco is 3-0 (1.000), Pacific is 1-2 (.333), and Seattle U is 0-2 (.000) against the others. San Francisco is the No. 5 seed, Pacific is the No. 6 seed, and Seattle U is the No. 7 seed.

The first three rounds of the men's tournament and the first five rounds of the women's tournament will be broadcast on ESPN+. ESPN2 and ESPN will televise the quarterfinals and semifinals of the men's tournament, and the championship games of both the men's and women's tournaments.
