On Monday, the NCAA revealed that there will be no expansion to its men’s and women’s college basketball tournaments, confirming that March Madness will retain 68-team fields for the 2025-26 season.

“Expanding the tournament fields is no longer being contemplated for the 2026 men’s and women’s basketball championships,” Dan Gavitt, the NCAA’s senior vice president of basketball, said in a statement. “However, the committees will continue conversations on whether to recommend expanding to 72 or 76 teams in advance of the 2027 championships.”
