When is March Madness?
March Madness is on Sunday, March 14, 2027. March Madness is the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament — a single-elimination spectacle of 68 teams, dramatic upsets, and buzzer-beaters that captivates the nation every spring.
March Madness is the NCAA Division I men's college basketball tournament, one of the most exciting events in American sports. Held annually in March and April, the single-elimination tournament features 68 teams competing for the national championship.
The tournament is famous for its bracket format, inspiring millions of fans to fill out predictions in office pools and online contests. The odds of picking a perfect bracket are astronomically low (roughly 1 in 9.2 quintillion), but that doesn't stop millions from trying each year.
March Madness is defined by Cinderella stories — lower-seeded teams pulling off shocking upsets against powerhouse programs. These underdog victories create some of the most memorable moments in sports, with buzzer-beaters and last-second shots becoming instant legends.
Selection Sunday, when the tournament bracket is revealed, kicks off weeks of wall-to-wall basketball. The First Four, first and second rounds, Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight, Final Four, and championship game create a crescendo of excitement that makes March the most thrilling month in college sports.
