NCAA Tournament 2026: Download, Print Your March Madness Bracket

The 68-team bracket includes 31 automatic qualifiers and 37 at-large teams, with the First Four starting March 17 in Dayton, Ohio, hosting four play-in games.

  • On March 15, 2026 the NCAA revealed the 68-team bracket during CBS's Selection Show at 6 p.m. ET, updating the bracket page for printing minutes later.
  • Because the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee sets the field on Selection Sunday, outlets provide printable brackets and tools like CBS Sports Bracket Challenge to meet fan demand.
  • The tournament schedule runs: First Four March 17-18, regional sites include Lucas Oil Stadium, and games are hosted in Dayton, Washington, Houston, Chicago, and San Jose.
  • Fans should refresh the bracket page minutes after the reveal to print teams and seeds, and bracket submission deadline is 12:15 p.m. ET on Thursday, March 19 while online pools lock at tipoff.
  • Streaming partners and apps mean viewing options expand with the March Madness Live app and CBS and Warner Bros. Discovery networks, while expert picks from Sporting News boost fan engagement all week.
