Great Falls, MT, October 27, 2026 —
The NCAA is evaluating cities as potential hosts for the men’s and women’s Final Four tournaments during the 2032 through 2036 period. The lists under consideration include locations in common as well as cities being considered for only one of the events.
For the men’s Final Four, the cities being considered are Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Kansas, Las Vegas, Nashville and New Orleans. The women’s Final Four list includes Detroit, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Phoenix and San Antonio.
Indianapolis, Las Vegas and New Orleans appear on both lists. The NCAA is also exploring the possibility of having some locations host the men’s and women’s tournaments in a dual-hosting arrangement. The summary of the evaluation does not specify which cities might be considered for that arrangement.
The NCAA has not provided, in the information available, details about how it will assess the potential hosts, when decisions will be made, or whether any of the cities have advanced to a later stage. No host cities have been identified as selected. The evaluation covers tournaments scheduled across the five-year span from 2032 through 2036, but the information does not assign particular cities to specific years.
The current lists therefore indicate cities under consideration, rather than confirmed venues or a final hosting schedule. Further details about the selection process and any decisions were not provided.
