The ease of real-time trading at Kalshi and Polymarket lets you enter and exit positions while games are in progress, such as buying shares of a team that you expect to come back, or selling and cutting your losses on squads facing big deficits.
March Madness prediction markets
The best prediction sites offer a wide range of markets on the NCAA Division 1 Men’s Basketball Tournament. These are the most popular markets.
Tournament winner
This is the main March Madness futures market. Kalshi refers to it as the “Men’s College Basketball Champion,” while Polymarket lists it as the “2026 NCAA Tournament Winner.” The terms are different, but it’s the same underlying question – which team will lift the trophy at the end of March Madness?
The market has already generated more than $48M in combined volume, with the bulk of it going through Kalshi. You simply need to predict who will become the national champion. If you think a team will win March Madness, buy “yes” contracts. If not, buy “no” contracts.
You can also sell your contracts before they settle. For example, you might buy “yes” contracts on a team before the tournament, and sell them at a higher price if that team reaches the Elite Eight. This gives you the chance to lock in a guaranteed profit, without waiting to see how your team performs.
Qualify for the championship game
You can also back a team to qualify for the national championship game. If the team reaches the final of March Madness, the contract will resolve to “yes” immediately. It will resolve to “no” if they’re eliminated at any stage.
Liquidity is much thinner on this market. It launched on February 2 at Kalshi, but it has only attracted around $96,000 in volume so far. Interest should spike as March Madness approaches and hoops fans start filling in their brackets.
Reach a certain round
Prediction sites are also offering contracts on whether each team will reach a certain stage of the tournament. At Kalshi, you can buy yes/no contracts on whether a team will qualify for the Round of 64, Round of 32, Round of 16, Round of 8, or the “Men’s Semifinals.” That’s essentially the First Round, Second Round, Sweet 16 (Regional Semifinals), Elite Eight (Regional Finals), or the Final Four.
This could be a safer option than backing a team to win the tournament. If you think a team has a pretty clear path to the Elite Eight or the Final Four, just back them to qualify for the Round of 8 or the Men’s Semifinals.
Naismith Player of the Year
Cameron Boozer is the clear favorite to win the Naismith Trophy for Men’s College Player of the Year in 2026. The award is normally announced in early April, during the Final Four weekend.
More than $350,000 has been traded on this market at Kalshi. In late November 2025, Boozer had a 22% implied chance of winning the award. His odds then spiked, and he’s now trading at 99%. Polymarket also has 99% on Duke’s power forward, leaving him well ahead of the chasing pack.
March Madness Most Outstanding Player predictions
Following the conclusion of the championship game, one player will be named the winner of the March Madness Most Outstanding Player award. You can trade on who that will be at both Kalshi and Polymarket. At Kalshi, Michigan’s Aday Mara is favored to win at 37%, ahead of teammate Yaxel Lendeborg at 23%.
UConn’s Tarris Reed Jr. is the third choice at 19%. Behind the leaders on both platforms, there’s plenty of value to be found on the board as you scout players who could potentially rise to snatch the award.
March Madness props and futures
There are numerous March Madness props and futures available at prediction markets. Kalshi has seven markets open for business in the futures section. The overall tournament winner is the headliner, but there are also markets for qualifiers in each round as it all plays out. For props, Kalshi offered 25 ahead of the tournament, including many options for March Madness upsets.
Polymarket listed all of its options under the futures tab and offered trading on 13 markets before the tournament started. There is some crossover on what’s available between the two platforms, but the wording of the contracts is slightly different. Here’s the complete list of March Madness futures at Kalshi.
- Men’s College Basketball Champion
- Men’s Round of 64 Qualifiers
- Men’s Round of 32 Qualifiers
- Men’s Round of 16 Qualifiers
- Men’s Round of 8 Qualifiers

- Men’s Championship Game Qualifiers
Beyond the champion, the markets currently attracting the most interest are the round of 64, round of 16, and semifinal qualifiers. All have exceeded over $1 million in volume and are climbing rapidly. We expect the same for the other markets as the week moves along. Here’s what Kalshi has on the menu for March Madness tournament props.

March Madness mention markets
As the tournament plays out, mention markets, also called “Who will say,” give you the chance to trade on what the announcers will or won’t say during the tournament. Kalshi had markets open on what the announcers would say during the first two rounds. We can expect that to continue throughout the rest of the tournament.
Over at Polymarket, there is a mention-related market tucked into the NCAAB futures category – NCAA Tournament: Number of Rothstein “This is March” tweets. Jon Rothstein is a college basketball insider for CBS Sports, one of the broadcast homes of the tournament.
This market has been open since March 1 and will resolve on April 7, 2026, at 2:00 a.m. ET. The goal is to pinpoint the number of tweets that he’ll unleash with that phrase. The current probability leader is 51-60, currently trading at 7%.
Markets on NCAA Tournament games
You’ll also find markets on each game during March Madness. These are the most common options:
- Moneyline: A simple prediction on which team will win a game. If you think a team will win, buy “yes” contracts on them.
- Spread: One team is given a handicap, and you can then predict who will cover the point spread. For example, Kentucky might be the 5.5-point favorite against South Carolina. If you think Kentucky will win by at least 6 points, buy “yes” contracts on the Wildcats. If you expect South Carolina to win or lose by up to 5 points, back it to cover the spread.
- Total: A prediction on the total goals that both teams will combine for during the game. For example, the line might be 148.5 points. If you think the game will see at least 149First-halfuy “yes” contracts. If not, choose “no.”
- First-half winner: Kalshi also offers a first-half winner market on NCAAB games. This market settles at half-time, so the second half is irrelevant.

Where to trade or bet on NCAA men’s tournament
The leading prediction sites will offer a broad range of markets on the NCAA Division 1 Men’s Basketball Tournament. These are the best sites:
- Kalshi: This popular app offers deeper liquidity on March Madness markets than any other prediction site. That should make it easy for you to open and exit positions during the NCAA Tournament. Kalshi offers lots of futures markets on the overall tournament, plus individual markets on each game.
- Polymarket: A federally regulated prediction site that features lots of futures markets on the NCAA Tournament. You can also buy and sell contracts on individual NCAAB games at Polymarket. The site struggles to compete with Kalshi in terms of college basketball trading volume right now, but that could change when the tournament gets underway. Polymarket often has better prices on specific markets than Kalshi, and the fees can be cheaper, so it’s worth signing up with both sites.
- DraftKings: The major U.S. sports betting companies are expanding into prediction markets, with DraftKings, FanDuel, Fanatics, and Underdog leading the charge. DraftKings stands out by offering a smooth user interface, a 100% deposit match welcome bonus, and fast payouts. You’ll find spreads, totals, and moneylines on each NCAAB game at DraftKings Predictions. The site also has a futures market on the “College Basketball Champion 2026,” with competitive prices on big teams like Duke, Michigan, Arizona, Houston, and Florida.

Advantages of March Madness prediction markets
You can unlock a wide range of benefits by signing up for prediction sites:
- Availability: Sites like Kalshi and Polymarket are available nationwide. They’re especially popular in states that haven’t legalized online sports betting, such as California, Texas, and Georgia.
- Juice: Prediction sites don’t build a house edge (juice or vig) into their lines. They simply allow you to trade contracts with fellow sports fans. The sites take a small hosting fee, but it’s typically much lower than the juice you’ll pay at a sportsbook. That means you’ll normally earn larger profits on winning plays, which boosts your chances of ending March Madness in the black. Just convert the prices at prediction sites into American odds (use the toggle above or our prediction market calculators), and you’ll see that they’re normally much sharper than sportsbook odds.
- Flexibility: You can sell an open contract before the event takes place. This gives you the chance to lock in a guaranteed profit. For instance, you might back a team to win the NCAA Tournament and sell your contracts for a higher price when they reach the Sweet 16. It’s similar to cashing out an open sports bet, but the terms are normally much better when you sell contracts on prediction sites.
- Bonuses: The prediction markets industry has exploded in popularity over the past year, and new sites are trying to muscle their way in. This creates a very competitive field, and the top companies are offering large bonuses in a bid to attract more traders. March Madness is one of the most popular sporting events of the year, so it’s a key battleground for prediction sites. That means you’ll find some solid bonuses and promos this year.
- Regulated: Sites like Kalshi, Polymarket, and DraftKings Predictions are regulated at a federal level by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. You can rely on them to keep you safe, settle contracts fairly, and pay out when you request a withdrawal.
