Everyone’s got their Bracket picks for March Madness. But where do you enter your brackets so that you can share them with the world (and possibly win some awesome prizes)? We’ve rounded up some of the best FREE March Madness bracket games for 2017.
You might want to start out by doing some printable brackets. That will make it much easier to enter your picks on all of these websites! You can get one from the NCAA here. Track the brackets live on the NCAA website here.
Even if you know NOTHING about basketball, you can still win. It happens all the time. What have you got to lose (except a little bit of time)?
Most brackets have to be in by Thursday, March 16, before the tipoff of the first game, so hurry up...Good luck!
Countdown to March Madness Tipoff
1. NCAA March Madness 2017 Bracket Games
You can start a group with friends and co-workers, and use the site as a Bracket Manager. Or you can play solo for prizes! If you fill out the entire bracket, you could win a trip to the 2018 NCAA Final Four! There’s also the option to make picks each round, for six chances to win a tablet or a trip to the 2018 NCAA Final Four. View the live bracket here to see how you’re doing.
2. Capital One NCAA March Madness Bracket Challenge
If you want to have fun in a group, you get to choose from one of two scoring options: traditional scoring, or a new “upset bonus” option, where players get more points for larger upsets! Of course, you can also play on your own and either not be a part of a group, or join an existing group. Make picks before Thursday, March 16 at noon EST. You get a chance to win a trip to the Final Four…And hey, this is the official game of March Madness.
3. FOX / SI Bracket Challenge
Pick your bracket perfectly and win either Cousin Sal’s LA home OR $1 million cash! That’s what I’m talkin’ about! If you win, but your bracket wasn’t perfect, then you get $25,000. Still nothing to sneeze at! Go it alone, or do it with a group. Play from any device with ease.
