The 2026 Academic All-District® At Large Team, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom for sports that do not have their own All-District teams. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA.

At the time of nomination, athletes must have played in at least 90 percent of the team's games or have started in at least 66 percent of the games.
