When does March Madness start?
- Selection Sunday: March 13
- First Four: March 15-16
- Round 1: March 17-18
- Final Four: April 2, 4
There are a few different answers to that question. Selection Sunday marks when the tournament's field of 68 is announced, and that will be on March 13. If you're looking for actual game action, the First Four will begin on March 15, as four games will be played between eight teams to decide which teams advance to the 64-team bracket.
The play involving teams in the 64-team bracket begins on March 17. Some consider that to be the first day of March Madness, as 16 games will be played in roughly 12 to 13 hours.
If you're only interested in the Final Four, that won't begin until April 2.
