NCAA men’s basketball reveals Final Four sites for 2027-30, makes historic move for the tournament

New Final Four sites have now been announced for future NCAA Tournaments in Men’s Basketball. Mark your calendars, hoops fans, because here is where the semifinals and championship game will take place each year between 2027 and 2030:

2027: Ford Field | Detroit, Michigan

2028: Allegiant Stadium | Las Vegas, Nevada

2029: Lucas Oil Stadium | Indianapolis, Indiana

2030: AT&T Stadium | Arlington, Texas

The big news here is that for the first time in NCAA Tournament history, the Final Four will be hosted in Las Vegas, a groundbreaking trip for the sport.

Here were the comments from committee chairman Chris Reynolds on the selection of Las Vegas for its first-ever Final Four:

“We are excited to bring the NCAA’s premier championship to Las Vegas, a city that for a number of years has hosted numerous championships from several member conferences,” said Chris Reynolds, athletics director at Bradley and the chair of the committee. “The feedback from leagues, the fans of their teams and the media covering the events staged there has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are confident we’ll get the same reviews when the Men’s Final Four is played at Allegiant Stadium.”

Then, comments on the selection of Detroit and Arlington as sites once again:

“We were really impressed with how the presenters from Detroit and North Texas rebounded from the disappointment of not being awarded a Final Four in the previous cycle and put their best foot forward during this entire process,” Reynolds said. “These communities should be proud of the leadership displayed by everyone involved with making these bids and ultimately earning the privilege to host an event of this magnitude. Both will be great locations at which to play the Final Four.”

Lastly, Reynolds explained why the committee chose to bring the event back to Indianapolis yet again after the city has hosted a ton of Final Fours and NCAA Tournament games since Lucas Oil Stadium opened.

“It’s been said many times about how coaches, players, fans and media love coming to the Final Four in Indianapolis, but I don’t think you can overstate just how much everyone enjoys their experience when they go there,” Reynolds said. “The people not only embrace major events, but they don’t take a single thing for granted. Every time this event is up for bid, anyone involved with the process approaches it with incredible energy and with an urgency that demonstrates the community’s desire to serve as a regular Final Four host.”
