Detroit to Host 2027 NCAA Men's Final Four at Ford Field
DETROIT (Nov. 22, 2022) — The NCAA® Division I Men's Basketball Committee announced today that it has selected Detroit to host the 2027 NCAA Men's Final Four®, heralding the event's return to the Motor City for the first time since 2009.
The national semifinals are set for Saturday, April 3, 2027 at Ford Field, with the national championship game tipping off on Monday, April 5, 2027.
The bid was a collaborative effort led by the Detroit Sports Commission, Visit Detroit, Michigan State University, City of Detroit, Ford Field and the Detroit Lions.
"It's an honor and pleasure to announce that the 2027 NCAA Men's Final Four is coming back to Detroit," said Detroit Sports Commission Executive Director Dave Beachnau. "We've worked closely with our partners to bring this premier event to college basketball fans across the state and we're eager to experience the positive impact it will have on the region. It's been a banner year for sports in Michigan with the recent announcement of Detroit being awarded the 2024 NFL Draft and the momentum we've seen has made it clear that Detroit is not coming back—it's back."
