Markets are currently split, with a 50% probability, on whether six NCAA basketball teams — Alabama, Clemson, Florida Gulf Coast, Holy Cross, Navy, and Penn State — will participate in the 2026 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.
The NCAA tournament, often referred to as March Madness, is one of the most anticipated events in college sports, showcasing top teams from across the country. The inclusion of these teams could depend on their performance in upcoming seasons, conference standings, and potential upsets in conference tournaments.
However, this market on Kalshi has low liquidity, suggesting that the probability should be interpreted with caution. Thin markets can be more susceptible to price swings and may not fully reflect broader sentiment. The market is set to resolve on March 5, 2026, based on the official tournament selection process.
