Texas was this year’s most gracious host of the 2023 Final Four as the men’s tournament is set to play their final games at NRG Stadium in Houston and the women’s tournament is set to play at American Airlines Center in Dallas.

It was a wild ride for both the men’s and women’s tournaments with each competition seeing history being made this postseason.

On the men’s side, a shocking group of UConn, San Diego State, Miami, and Florida Atlantic will be competing for the NCAA title — out of those four, only UConn has ever won the championship before.

On the women’s side, Iowa and LSU have already punched their ticket to the Final Four and are awaiting the results from South Carolina vs. Maryland and Virginia Tech vs. Ohio State.

Where are the future NCAA Final Four locations? Take a look below.

NCAA Men’s Final Four Locations

  • 2024: Phoenix
    • State Farm Stadium (Host: Arizona State University)
  • 2025: San Antonio
    • Alamodome (Host: University of Texas at San Antonio, University of the Incarnate Word)
  • 2026: Indianapolis
    • Lucas Oil Stadium (Host: Horizon League, IUPUI)
  • 2027: Detroit
    • Ford Field (Host: Michigan State University)
  • 2028: Las Vegas
    • Allegiant Stadium (Host: UNLV)

The 2024 Men's Final Four in March Madness will be held in Phoenix or, more specifically, Glendale, AZ at State Farm Stadium. We will then be well-traveled for the future as we go to the famed Alamodome in 2025 before trips to other famous NFL venues with Indianapolis, Detroit, and Las Vegas set to host the Final Four in 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively.

NCAA Women’s Final Four Locations

  • 2024: Cleveland
    • Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse (Host: Mid-American Conference, Greater Cleveland Sports Commission)
  • 2025: Tampa
    • Amalie Arena (Host: University of South Florida, Tampa Bay Sports Commission)
  • 2026: Phoenix
    • Footprint Center (Host: Arizona State University)
  • 2027: Columbus
    • Nationwide Arena (Host: Ohio State University, Greater Columbus Sports Commission)
  • 2028: Indianapolis
    • Gainbridge Fieldhouse (Host: Horizon League, IUPUI, Indiana Sports Corp)

Unlike with the 2023 Final Four, we won't see the men's and women's Final Fours cross paths in the same states over the next five years. They'll be in Cleveland while the men are in Glendale/Phoenix in 2024 -- the women will be in Phoenix in 2026, albeit at a different venue -- with trips to Tampa, Columbus and Indianapolis over the next five years as well.
