The NCAA has announced the host cities for the Final Four over the next seven years, with locations including San Antonio in 2025, Indianapolis in 2026 and 2029, Detroit in 2027, Las Vegas in 2028, North Texas in 2030, and Atlanta in 2031.

Atlanta, Georgia, will host the Final Four in 2031, with the championship games scheduled for April 5 and 7 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Dan Gavitt, the NCAA's senior vice president of basketball, highlighted the emotional weight of the 2020 tournament's cancellation and expressed the committee's empathy in awarding Atlanta the 2031 Final Four.

This decision marks a significant return for Atlanta, which missed the chance to host the Final Four in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2031 Final Four will be Atlanta's fifth time hosting the event, following previous tournaments held in 1977, 2002, 2007, and 2013.

In 2013, the last time Atlanta hosted the Final Four, the Louisville Cardinals triumphed over Michigan with a score of 82-76 in the championship game.
