NCAA announces Final Four sites through 2030

Are you ready for a Final Four in Las Vegas? Because in 2028, it’s happening. The NCAA just announced the host sites for the 2027-2030 Final Fours. Detroit gets the 2027 event, which will take place at Ford Field. In 2028, the Final Four will head to Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. In 2029, Indianapolis will host the Final Four for the tenth time, and in 2030, it will go to AT&T Stadium in North Texas (aka, Arlington/Dallas).

DATES, YEAR	CITY/REGION	FACILITY	HOST(S)	HOSTING HISTORY
April 3 and 5, 2027	Detroit	Ford Field	Michigan State University	2009
April 1 and 3, 2028	Las Vegas	Allegiant Stadium	UNLV	First
March 31 and April 2, 2029	Indianapolis	Lucas Oil Stadium	Horizon League, IUPUI	1980, 1991, 1997, 2000, 2006, 2010, 2015, 2021
April 6 and 8, 2030	North Texas	AT&T Stadium	Big 12 Conference	1986, 2014

2028 will be Vegas’ first Final Four; in March, the city will host a regional for the first time.

“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 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball 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.”

Atlanta was also a finalist to host one of the 2027-2030 Final Fours, but got snubbed, a surprise since the 2020 Final Four, which was scheduled to take place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, was canceled due to COVID. Matt Norlander of CBS Sports is reporting that Atlanta could eventually get the 2031 Final Four.

Sources indicated to CBS Sports that there's a hold-up with Atlanta at the moment. This Final Four bid cycle was supposed to go through 2031. It's possible (if not likely) Atlanta will eventually get the 2031 Final Four. It was the only other finalist of the five cities.

Once Nashville’s new $2 billion domed stadium is completed in 2026, it’s only a matter of time before the Final Four comes to Music City. Can’t wait.
