March Madness is here! Selection Sunday is in the books and the 68 team NCAA Tournament bracket is set. This means you can start filling out your brackets in order to win some big prizes this year. Below you will find a wide variety of free March Madness brackets with some solid prizes, as well as a few value added brackets that will have some kind of entry requirement, but will have much better odds of you winning a prize.
I will be adding new March Madness contests to this page daily until the start of the tournament, so check back often!

Free March Madness Bracket Contests
Here is a list of free March Madness bracket contests from around the web. These contests are generally open to only American or Canadian (or both) residents and you can check this in the eligibility section. I’ve rated each of the contests mainly based on their prizes and the number of probable entries (I am just estimating the number of entries). Obviously the bigger the prize the better and the fewer the entrants the better your chances of winning a piece of the prize pool.
I’m also not including ‘perfect brackets’ at all in my grading because the odds are so astronomical that the whole ‘perfect bracket’ promotion seems like a gimmick to me. For this reason I am not including any contests where the only prize is for a perfect bracket. That said I do include the perfect bracket prizes in the descriptions for the contests that offer winnable prizes.
**The list is not perfectly organized anymore, due to the fact that I’m constantly adding new contests as I become aware of them. But this is the most extensive list of March Madness contests you will find online.
