The NCAA announced Monday that it has selected
Houston, Phoenix, San Antonio and Indianapolis to host the Final
Four from 2023 through 2026, respectively.
All four cities have hosted the event in the past. The three
finalist venues that were not selected included Detroit, Los
Angeles and Arlington, Texas.
Members of the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee toured
all seven finalist cities during a yearlong selection process.
Representatives from each city gave an in-person presentation
last week in Boston at the committee's annual summer meeting.
Houston has hosted the Final Four in 1971, 2011 and 2016.
Phoenix has hosted once (2017), San Antonio has hosted four
times (1998, 2004, 2008, 2018) and Indianapolis has hosted seven
times (1980, 1991, 1997, 2000, 2006, 2010, 2015). The NCAA is
based in downtown Indianapolis, with its headquarters located a
short walk from Lucas Oil Stadium.
The next eight sites for the Final Four now are set:
2019: Minneapolis
2020: Atlanta
2021: Indianapolis
2022: New Orleans
2023: Houston
2024: Phoenix
2025: San Antonio
