March Madness Expands to 76 Teams in 2027
The NCAAs March Madness tournaments are expanding to 76 teams each, starting in 2027, with over $131 million in new revenue. The move brings in more teams, with automatic spots for conference champions and at-large bids filling the rest. The twelve lowest-seeded auto qualifiers and at-large teams face off in the new Opening Round, with winners advancing to the round of 64. Coaches and athletic directors support the change, which increases the number of teams that can qualify from 18% to 21%. The mens Opening Round will be held in Dayton, Ohio, and a second city, with three games each on Tuesday and Wednesday. Womens games will be held on campuses of top seeds hosting early rounds. This expansion maintains the madness packed into three weeks, potentially crowning champs who grind through seven or eight wins.
