2026 NCAA Men’s Final Four Logo Revealed
Division II and Division III men’s basketball championships logos also unveiled
Posted On: December 13, 2024 By :The official logos for the 2026 NCAA Men’s Final Four and 2026 NCAA Division II and Division III men’s basketball championships have been unveiled, featuring elements and colors that represent Indianapolis and the state of Indiana.
Indianapolis will host all three championships during the same weekend in 2026. The D-II and D-III games will take place at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, while Lucas Oil Stadium hosts the Final Four. It will mark the second time that the NCAA will conduct its three men’s basketball championships on one weekend in the same city.
Designed by Section 127 in Indianapolis — which also designed the 2026 Women’s Final Four logo — the 2026 Men’s Final Four logo includes tributes to Indianapolis and its history of hosting Final Fours. The design includes elements drawn from the Indianapolis Civic Flag and the center court at Market Square Arena, the site of Indianapolis’ first Final Four in 1980.
“We are thrilled to reveal and showcase the logo as we look to once again welcome college basketball fans back to Indianapolis for the 2026 Men’s Final Four,” said Patrick Talty, president of Indiana Sports Corp. “Indiana is where champions are crowned and there is no better example of that than in 2026.”
Indianapolis will host the Men’s Final Four for the ninth time, with the Horizon League and IU Indianapolis serving as the host institutions in 2026 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Indianapolis is second all-time in hosting Men’s Final Fours, behind only Kansas City which hosted 10 times between 1940 and 1988. Indianapolis most recently hosted the Men’s Final Four in 2021, when the entire NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship was held in a controlled environment.
“We are excited to be back in our hometown of Indianapolis for the 2026 men’s basketball championships — it’s special for all of us to have the Men’s Final Four in the same city on the same weekend as the championships in Divisions II and III, and we know our community will come out to support all of the fantastic student-athletes,” said Dan Gavitt, the NCAA’s senior vice president of basketball.
