Qualification

Since there has only ever been one single national championship for water polo, all NCAA men's water polo programs (whether from Division I, Division II, or Division III) were eligible. Under the new format, six teams were invited to contest this single-elimination tournament. The play-in games was played December 3, hosted by Southern California, and the championship will be held December 5 and 6, hosted by UCLA.[3]
