Some teams will have to wait until Selection Sunday to learn their March Madness fates. Others, however, won’t have to sweat about being left out.
Nearly half of the 68-team fields in the 2025 men’s and women’s NCAA Tournaments are made up of automatic bids. There are 31 conference tournaments in men’s and women’s college basketball, and the winners automatically qualify for March Madness (unless, of course, a school is ineligible).
Tickets to both Big Dances are already being punched. The men’s automatic bids awarded so far have included High Point, Omaha and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville securing their March Madness debuts. And on the women’s side, Arkansas State and George Mason earned NCAA Tournament berths for the first time.
