This is a template, not the official bracket. The 64 names are placeholders. The NCAA tournament field is announced on Selection Sunday in March; replace the placeholders with the real teams once the field is set.
How the 64-team bracket is structured
The NCAA tournament uses 68 teams, with the First Four reducing the field to 64. This template starts at the 64-team round, which is the part most pools use.
The bracket has four regions of 16 teams, seeded 1–16 in each region. The standard first-round matchups are 1 v 16, 8 v 9, 5 v 12, 4 v 13, 6 v 11, 3 v 14, 7 v 10, and 2 v 15.
How to use the template
- Replace the placeholder Team 1–64 names with the real field, or with your own pool entries.
- Click a team to advance it. The bracket updates immediately.
- Print the bracket for a wall chart, or use Share link to send your picks.
- Use Export JSON if you want a backup of every pick.
Printing tips
A 64-team bracket is large. The print layout splits the field into four 16-team regions plus a semifinals/final page, so each printed page stays readable. Print / PDF uses landscape orientation; check the preview before saving.
