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.

While this decision was finalized for the upcoming season, NCAA SVP Dan Gavitt did release a statement saying that the committees will continue exploring tournament expansion for the 2026-27 season. That potential expansion they are still exploring would be to 72 or 76 teams.

Monday was a big win for basketball fans who prefer the NCAA Tournament to remain untouched, but expansion still looms
