2025 March Madness

The 2025 Men's NCAA March Madness Tournament Bracket matchups will be announced on Sunday, March 16th between 6:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. EST. Our Printable March Madness Bracket will be available soon thereafter.

The Championship game will be held on Monday, April 7th. Listed below is the complete dated schedule.


Office Pools

If you're looking for another office pool to run during the tournament we highly recommend trying our College Basketball Block Pool, it's like the Super Bowl Squares, but you use the final score in every game of the tournament! Also check out our College Basketall Tourney Props Pool, where the participants of your pool try to correctly answer 20 unique outcomes/questions, such as "Will any seed lower than a 4 make it to the Final Four?"
