All-Session Tickets now on sale for DI Men's Basketball Championship

Charlotte, NC - All-session tickets are now on sale for the 2025 NJCAA DI Men's Basketball Championship, presented by Zurich Insurance. The tournament will be held inside the historic Hutchinson Sports Arena in Hutchinson, KS, for the 77th consecutive year. For 2025, a schedule change has been implemented with the tournament beginning on Saturday, March 22. This change will allow for four total games to be played each day beginning Saturday, March 22, and ending on Wednesday, March 26. This change eliminates the original six-game playing days. Thursday, March 27 will serve as an off day for the final four teams. During this off day, there will be a luncheon to celebrate the final four teams ahead of the semifinals that will be played on Friday, March 28. The championship game will be played on Saturday, March 29. The tournament format will remain the same.

Tickets can be purchased online by visiting njcaa.org/tickets and will be available to download on a mobile device or print-at-home when tickets are made available closer to the tournament. Fans can also provide a mobile number and download the HomeTown Ticketing app to have access to their tickets directly on their smartphones. Touchless ticketing and digital scanning of tickets will allow for a quick and effective entry experience when attending the tournament. 

Following this presale period for all-session tickets, individual session tickets will be made available to the public for purchase beginning in early 2025. All-session ticket prices remain $65 for each ticket before taxes and parking will be sold separately from the online ticketing system.

The single-elimination seeded bracket is composed of 24 teams - 16 district champions and eight at-large selections. The top-eight seeds receive first-round byes in the tournament. For the national tournament, session 1 starts at 12:00 PM CT and session 2 begins at 5:30 PM CT.
