Waco Temple Bryan, TX, October 27, 2026 —
The NCAA has identified a group of cities under consideration to host the Men’s and Women’s Final Fours from 2032 through 2036. The lists include seven potential host cities for each tournament.
Cities under consideration for the men’s tournament are Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Nashville and New Orleans. The women’s tournament list includes Detroit, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Phoenix and San Antonio.
Indianapolis, Las Vegas and New Orleans appear on both lists. The other cities named are being considered for one tournament or the other, according to the information provided.
The announcement identifies potential hosts across the five-year period but does not specify which cities might host in particular years. It also does not state whether any host cities have been selected, or provide details about the selection process, event scheduling or the next steps.
The potential hosts span multiple regions of the country, giving the NCAA a range of locations to consider for the championship events. No additional information was provided about venues, bids or the criteria used to identify the cities.
For now, the list names cities under consideration rather than confirming future hosts. The available information does not indicate when final decisions will be announced.
