Men's March Madness 2024
Men's March Madness 2024

This year's March Madness may be especially wild because several teams are hoping to make it to the Final Four. Florida accomplished the feat in 2006–07, so UConn hopes to be the first team to win back-to-back national titles since then, but there will be many opponents in their path.

The First Four games of March Madness take place in Dayton, Ohio on Tuesday, March 19, and the Final Four takes place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona on April 6 and 7.

The following cities will host the tournament's first and second rounds: Omaha, Nebraska; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Salt Lake City, Utah; Spokane, Washington; Memphis, Tennessee; Brooklyn, New York; Charlotte, North Carolina; Indianapolis, Indiana; and Memphis, Tennessee.

Boston, Massachusetts (East); Dallas, Texas (South); Detroit, Michigan (Midwest); and Los Angeles, California (West) will host the regional semifinals (Sweet 16) and finals (Elite Eight).

Choosing On Sunday, March 17, the games will take place before the release of the 68-team bracket. Below are the exact dates and locations for the Division I men's NCAA tournament in 2024.

In the interim, save Joe Lunardi's ESPN Bracketology to your bookmarks for field projections that include "on the bubble" teams. Prior to Selection Sunday, the bracket will be updated on a regular basis during the 2023–24 regular season and during conference tournaments, also known as "Champ Week".
