What March Madness games are on today? Schedule for 2026 Final Four

Welcome to the Final Four.

The 2026 Men's NCAA Tournament is entering its penultimate stage, with two national semifinal games scheduled for Saturday, April 4. That means the 2026 college basketball season is nearing its conclusion.

After the season kicked off in October, five months later, we are two games away from crowning the latest NCAA men's college basketball champion. Illinois, Michigan and Arizona all have chances to end long droughts, while Connecticut and Dan Hurley can continue building one of the sport's best dynasties.

The night from Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis kicks off with action between No. 2 UConn and No. 3 Illinois, followed by a matchup of the lone remaining No. 1 seeds, Arizona and Michigan.

The Illini and Wolverines are seeking to end a 26-year drought for the Big Ten since its last national championship. Illinois is seeking its first-ever national title, while Michigan (1989) and Arizona (1997) are seeking to end program droughts.

The Huskies — which won the 2023 and 2024 national championships — are seeking their third championship in four years and seventh in program history, with all of them coming since 1999.

Here's what you need to know about the March Madness games today, including TV, times and where to watch:
