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 edges trader consensus for the 2026 NCAA Tournament title at 19.5% implied probability, propelled by No. 1-ranked 2025 recruiting class headlined by consensus top prospect Cooper Flagg and elite depth, but Michigan (18.5%) and Arizona (16.6%) trail closely thanks to aggressive transfer portal hauls and coaching continuity under Dusty May and Tommy Lloyd, respectively. This bunched top tier reflects offseason parity from NIL-fueled roster rebuilds, with Florida and Houston gaining from strong returning production and defensive identities. No clear frontrunner emerges amid widespread top-10 freshmen distributions and unproven freshman-led lineups, underscoring the wisdom of crowds pricing in recruiting momentum over guaranteed March Madness dominance.
