Gonzaga University is excited to serve as the host for the 2025 National Debate Tournament and we look forward to welcoming competitors, coaches, judges and alumni from across the nation to our campus for the oldest and most competitive collegiate debate championship tournament in the nation.

The tournament begins with an opening reception on Thursday, April 3rd and concludes late on Monday, April 7th with the crowning of a national champion. We have put together a tournament booklet that provides helpful information about the tournament hotel, schedule of events, campus policies, and much more.

Good luck to all competitors working to qualify for the tournament and we hope to see many of you in Spokane this Spring!
