This market will resolve according to the team that wins the 2026 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. If it is impossible for a team to win the 2026 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament according to the rules of the competition (i.e. they are eliminated) , the corresponding market will immediately resolve to “No”. If for any reason no winner is declared by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". The resolution source for this market will be information from the NCAA.

Duke, Michigan, and Arizona lead trader consensus for the 2026 NCAA Tournament winner with tightly bunched implied probabilities of 19.5%, 18.5%, and 17.2%, driven primarily by their elite 2025 recruiting classes—Duke's headlined by No. 1 prospect Cooper Flagg, Michigan bolstered by coach Dusty May's FAU title pedigree and key transfers, and Arizona's deep talent haul under Tommy Lloyd. Roster turnover from the next two seasons amplifies freshmen impact, while coaching stability and portal activity create parity among blue-bloods like Florida (9.7%) and Houston (7.5%). The wisdom of crowds reflects broad uncertainty over injuries, upsets, and schedule rigors, keeping the futures market competitive and fluid.
