***The 2020 March Madness tournament has been cancelled. Check back in 2021 for an updated NCAA tournament bracket contests list.

March Madness is just around the corner! Selection Sunday is coming up and we will soon know the 68 teams that will be taking place in this years tournament. That also means that it’s only a few more days until you can start filling out your brackets and hoping for some big prizes this year. Below you will find a wide variety of free March Madness brackets with some solid prizes, as well as a few value added brackets that will have some kind of entry requirement, but will have a much better odds of you winning a prize.

I will be adding new March Madness contests to this page daily until the start of the tournament, so check back often!

Free March Madness Bracket Contests

Here is a list of free March Madness bracket contests from around the web. These contests are generally open to only American or Canadian (or both) residents and you can check this in the eligibility section. I’ve rated each of the contests mainly based on their prizes and the number of probably entries (I am just estimating the number of entries). Obviously the bigger the prize the better and the fewer the entrants the better your chances of winning a piece of the prize pool.

I’m also not including ‘perfect brackets’ at all in my grading because the odds are so astronomical that someone will pick a perfect bracket that the whole ‘perfect bracket’ promotion just seems like a gimmick to me. For this reason I am not including any contests where the only prize is for a perfect bracket. That said I do include the perfect bracket prizes in the descriptions for the contests that offer winnable prizes.

**The list is not perfectly organized anymore, due to the fact that I’m constantly adding new contests as I become aware of them. But this is the most extensive list of March Madness contests you will find online.

Value Added 2019 March Madness Brackets (Paid)

These March Madness contests are hosted by online sportsbooks. There will be some form of entry restriction for these contests, whether it be opening an account at the site, making a deposit or even just buying in for a set entry fee. That said due to the entry restrictions the amount of competitors you will be up against will be far less than any of the free brackets listed above, which greatly increases the chances of your bracket winning a prize. I personally enjoy these contests more because even if you lose a few first round games you aren’t necessarily out of the competition. But if you are only looking for free contests and aren’t interested in signing up at an online sportsbook, then just skip this section.
