LANSING, Mich. - Registration is now open for one of collegiate archery’s marquee events, and all roads lead to Lansing, Michigan this spring for the 2026 HotelPlanner USA Archery Collegiate Target Nationals, hosted in partnership with Michigan State University and the Lansing Sports Commission.
From May 14–17, the nation’s top collegiate archers will gather at the Hope Sports Complex for four days of high-level competition, school pride and unforgettable moments.
This premier championship features a qualification round and matchplay across Individual, Team and Mixed Team events in the Recurve, Compound, Barebow and Fixed Pins divisions. With a vibrant social event included, and the unique blend of elite competition and collegiate camaraderie, Lansing promises to deliver another outstanding Nationals experience. Whether you’re aiming for gold or cheering on your school, this is one of the biggest dates on the collegiate archery calendar.
The 2026 edition follows a memorable and record-setting championship in 2025.
The University of the Cumberlands reclaimed the Overall National Team Championship, finishing ahead of defending champions Texas A&M University and third-place University of Pikeville. Across three days of competition, nearly 500 archers battled not only each other, but the elements as well, coping with high winds during Saturday eliminations in what became a true test of focus and resolve.
It was a championship defined by resilience, rising talent and moments that will live long in collegiate archery memory, setting the stage perfectly for what awaits as the event returns to Lansing in 2026.
Don’t miss your chance to compete on the sport’s biggest collegiate stage, reconnect with teammates and rivals, and be part of another landmark event. It’s time to write the next chapter.
