One of the most exciting times in sports is almost here.
The 2025 NCAA Tournament starts next week with 68 teams readying for college basketball’s showcase event. South Carolina is looking to repeat as champions, but entering this year’s tournament, there is no single dominant team. Four schools have been No. 1 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll, tying the record most recently set in 2021.
Here’s everything you need to know about the bracket reveal:

The first two rounds will be held on campus sites for the highest seed in each four-team pod, so in other words, the top 16 teams will host. The First Four is Wednesday and Thursday, while the first round is March 21-22.
Then, half of the field will head to Birmingham, Ala., for the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight, and the other half will travel to Spokane, Wash. Those games will be played March 28-31.
