Where is the Final Four in 2024?
| City | Venue | Dates |
| Glendale, Ariz. | State Farm Stadium | April 6 & 8 |
The Phoenix area will host the men’s Final Four for the second time.
State Farm Stadium last hosted the event in 2017, when it was named University of Phoenix Stadium. North Carolina defeated Gonzaga in the 2017 national championship game, after Oregon and South Carolina came up short in the national semifinals.
The Tar Heels would certainly like to get back to Phoenix, as they appear to be a title contender once again. South Carolina, meanwhile, is set to return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since its stunning 2017 run that ended with a close loss to Gonzaga in Arizona.
