The NCAA College Basketball Division I tournament will start a couple of days after all the conference championships end and the official 2022 March Madness bracket will be revealed one day later. The tournament returns to its natural state after a couple of modifications due to the Coronavirus.

The defending champions are the Baylor Bears who won the national championship against Gonzaga in what was a season with no fans in the stands but with the same winning spirit as the players during the tournament.

All March Madness games will be available in the United States in all states through TV and live streams for multiple devices. In addition, local radio stations offer live broadcasts of the games.
