WHAT IS INCUBATE?

Incubate Debate is America’s fastest-growing debate league.

We host in-person tournaments where middle and high school students from 10 states debate timely and timeless topics to sharpen their speaking, research, and thinking.

At Incubate, debate is about more than competition. It’s about using open, honest, and good-faith debate to get closer to truth and discover what unites us as Americans.

In 2024, we launched our no-cost “Teacher Toolkit,” now used by over 12,000 high school teachers to host engaging, educational in class debates with their students.

Our mission is simple: challenge young Americans to debate—at our tournaments, in the classroom, and in everyday life—so they grow into better listeners, deeper thinkers, and the principled leaders our country needs.
