The NCAA Tournament Comes to Fort Worth

Fort Worth is stepping into the March Madness spotlight in 2027 as Dickies Arena hosts first and second round games of the NCAA Division I Basketball Tournament on March 18 and March 20, 2027. The state-of-the-art arena in the heart of the Cultural District is one of the newest and most impressive venues on the tournament circuit, and basketball fans from across the country will descend on Fort Worth for a weekend packed with high-stakes college hoops.

Dickies Arena opened in 2019 and quickly established itself as one of the top multi-purpose venues in Texas. With a seating capacity of approximately 14,000 for basketball, the arena offers an intimate setting compared to some of the larger tournament venues -- meaning every seat is close to the action and the atmosphere is intense from tip-off to the final buzzer. The venue has already hosted major events including rodeo championships, concerts, and high-profile sporting events, and the NCAA Tournament is a natural fit for a building designed to deliver premium experiences.

The 2027 tournament field expands to 76 teams for the first time, adding 12 opening round games to the schedule and even more excitement to the bracket. Fort Worth is one of eight first and second round host cities, and the games at Dickies Arena will feature some of the most compelling matchups of the opening weekend. Check the listings below for all available sessions and lock in your tickets on BigStub before the best seats are gone.

NCAA Tournament Basketball at Dickies Arena

Dickies Arena is located at 1911 Montgomery Street in Fort Worth, Texas, nestled in the Cultural District just west of downtown. The arena was built as a modern replacement for the nearby Will Rogers Memorial Center and opened its doors in November 2019. Since then, it has hosted everything from the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo to major concert tours and AAC basketball games. The building was designed with flexibility in mind -- its configuration adapts seamlessly from rodeo to basketball to concert mode, with premium sightlines and acoustics in every setup.

For basketball, Dickies Arena seats approximately 14,000 fans in a steep-sided bowl that keeps spectators close to the court. The lower bowl and club level offer outstanding views, while the upper deck still provides a clear line of sight to every corner of the floor. The arena features modern amenities including wide concourses, diverse food and beverage options, and premium hospitality suites for fans looking for an elevated experience. Free parking is available in the surrounding lots, which is a major advantage compared to many downtown arenas.

Fort Worth is one of eight cities hosting first and second round games in the 2027 NCAA Tournament, alongside Charlotte, Louisville, Minneapolis, Omaha, Pittsburgh, Sacramento, and Spokane. The regional semifinals and finals will be held in Kansas City, Los Angeles, New York, and San Antonio, leading to the Final Four at Ford Field in Detroit on April 3 and 5. With the expanded 76-team field, each host venue will see even more game sessions than in previous tournaments.

The Fort Worth area is no stranger to major sporting events. AT&T Stadium in nearby Arlington has hosted Super Bowls and College Football Playoff games, and the DFW metroplex is one of the largest sports markets in the country. For NCAA Tournament weekend, Fort Worth offers a more intimate and walkable experience compared to its bigger neighbor Dallas. The Cultural District, Stockyards National Historic District, and Sundance Square are all within easy reach of the arena and provide excellent dining, entertainment, and sightseeing options for visiting fans.
