Sweet 16

The pressure is on from the start of every NCAA tournament, and it only builds with each passing round. Sixty-eight teams tip off at the start, and by the second weekend only 16 teams remain. Those NCAA Sweet 16 teams play regional semifinals for a chance to move on to the regional finals (and become part of the Elite Eight) later in the weekend. These games are true must-sees.

The 2026 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship Sweet 16 will take place March 26-27, 2026.

 

Elite Eight

Half of the teams in the NCAA Sweet 16 get eliminated, leaving the Elite Eight for the regional finals. These teams are truly elite — only the most talented and dedicated make it to this prestigious round of the NCAA Championship. Fans with Elite Eight tickets bring tons of passion and enthusiasm to the stands, cranking up the excitement of every matchup. The four games played by the Elite Eight take place at the end of the second weekend of the tournament, and the winners advance to the Final Four. The 2026 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship Elite Eight will take place March 28-29, 2026

 

Men's Final Four

It all comes down to this. Student athletes have pushed themselves hard to make it to the Men's Final Four, and they need to push themselves even harder to make it through as national champions. Fans can score Men's Final Four tickets to cheer their hearts out from the stands and give their team an edge. The Men's Final Four teams are the champions for their respective regions (East, South, Midwest and West) and need to win to move on to the national championship game, which takes place the following Monday. Featuring the two top teams in college basketball, the national championship game never fails to deliver an action-packed, white-knuckle finish to the tournament.
