The Kwik Trip Holiday Face-Off debuted in 2021, where the Badgers took down No. 16 Providence in a thrilling shootout to become the first champions. Wisconsin has won three of the five face-offs and has been the runner-up twice.

Of the four teams competing in the 2026 face-off, UMass is the only returning team. The Minutemen were ranked No. 15 when they took third place in 2022.
