College basketball prediction markets
Every college basketball prediction market in one place — NCAA tournament winner, conference brackets, Most Outstanding Player and March Madness props.
At a glance
College basketball prediction markets list from the start of the season in November and peak in March. The 2026-27 season opens November 6 with Michigan vs UConn; Florida and Duke are the co-favorites for the 2027 national title.
The NCAA tournament is the single largest college market on Polymarket — more than $27 million traded on last season's champion alone. This is where we track it, from opening night through Selection Sunday to the final.
