About NCAA Sports Calendars
Our NCAA calendar tracks the two biggest events in college sports: The College Football Playoff (CFP) National Championship and the 'March Madness' Men's Basketball Tournament. These events captivate millions of fans every year with their intense single-elimination formats.
March Madness & CFP Dates
March Madness strictly follows a March-April schedule, beginning with 'Selection Sunday' and concluding with the Final Four in early April. The CFP National Championship is typically played on a Monday night in mid-January. Subscribing keeps these dates synced so you don't miss the bracket busts.
