The Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl, Division III football's championship game, will be returning to its longtime home, Salem Stadium. After a stretch of six years in which the game will be held in five different stadiums, the national championship will return to Salem, Virginia, for the championship of the 2026 season. The championship of the 2027 season will be in Canton, Ohio, the third Stagg Bowl to be held there in the 2020s.

Division III championship sites are currently being awarded on a two-year basis, instead of the previous four years.

Baseball, men's basketball and women's basketball will all experience at least one new site in the 2026-27 and 2027-28. Baseball will be moving from suburban Cleveland to York, Pennsylvania. Men's basketball will be one of several Division III championships to Pittsburgh. Women's basketball will spend one year in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, before returning to Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia before a 2028 joint women's basketball championships among all three divisions.

The 2027 and 2028 men's Final Four events will be held at UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse, a 3,500-seat facility on the campus of Duquesne University. It's the same venue which recently hosted the women's Final Four -- that came in 2022, when Hope outlasted UW-Whitewater in front of a crowd of 1,108.

UPMC Fieldhouse will also host Division III women's volleyball in the fall of 2026 and Division III men's volleyball in the spring of 2028.
