New York state high school boys basketball championships

The New York state high school boys basketball championships are won in the Federation Tournament of Champions, which is conducted annually by the New York State Federation of Secondary School Athletic Associations (NYSFSSAA).

[2] Following a three-year hiatus caused by the COVID pandemic, the Federation tournament returned in 2023, albeit on a smaller scale with games held at school sites around the Capital District.

The tournament was put on indefinite pause after the 2023 edition: schools cited a decrease in interest from fans and media, plus a desire for athletes to start their spring sporting seasons earlier.

[4] After the first two tournaments were held in Syracuse and Rochester in 1979 and 1980,[3][2] the competition moved to Glens Falls through 2010 and then to Albany.

[3] In 2015, because the Times Union Center was used for the NCAA Women's Basketball Albany Regional, the Federation tournament was held at SEFCU Arena, the home court of the University at Albany, SUNY basketball teams.
