Get ready for March madness magic as the 2026 NCAA Final Four officially kicks off!
The 2026 NCAA tournament bracket was revealed on Sunday evening, and overall, the committee didn't give us many surprises.
March Madness is finally upon us. On Sunday evening, the NCAA tournament bracket was officially revealed, and we now know the full field of 68. Unsurprisingly, three of the No.
1 seeds went to Duke , Arizona and Michigan , despite the Wolverines losing to Purdue in the Big Ten championship on Sunday. The final one seed, which was the subject of some debate, ultimately went to the Florida Gators , as expected. UF's loss to Vanderbilt in the SEC tournament semifinal on Saturday opened the door for UConn or Houston, but both suffered losses in their respective conference championship games.
After losing in the MAC tournament, one-loss Miami (Ohio) still found its way into the tournament as an at-large, though it's heading to Dayton as the last team in. The other three members of the Last Four In are Texas , SMU and NC State. Here's how the full bracket shakes out with the seeding for all four regions.
