INDIANAPOLIS— The NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Committee announced today the field of 64 teams for the 2025 NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Championship.
The championship provides for a 64-team tournament. Automatic qualification (AQ) is granted to 43 conference champions. The remaining 21 teams are selected from those teams in conferences with automatic bids that did not win their conference’s AQ. The teams are geographically paired, whenever possible.
Sixteen sites will host four teams for first- and second-round competition Friday-Saturday, March 7-8. Second-round winners will advance to one of four sectional sites March 14-15. Winners of the four sectional championship games will advance to the semifinals and finals on March 20 and 22. All games, except the semifinals and finals, will be played on the campuses of competing institutions. The semifinals and finals will be held at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne, IN.
