The 2023 Maui Invitational Tournament was an early-season college basketball tournament that is the 40th edition of the tournament as part of the 2023–24 NCAA Division I men's basketball season.[1] The tournament was originally scheduled to be played at the Lahaina Civic Center in Maui, Hawaii from November 20 to 22, 2023.[2] However, due to the Hawaii wildfires in and around Maui, the event was relocated to the Stan Sheriff Center on the campus of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa in Honolulu.[3] [4] It was the first year with insurance company Allstate as the main sponsor.[5]
