With the 2026 NCAA Tournament Round of 64 set to begin, it is officially bracket season.
Anyone can make a bracket using their own approach. Some choose the top teams in each region, others go by which school has the best mascot, and those whose schools are in the tournament often pick their alma mater to go the distance.
Each year, celebrities also share their own brackets, offering another source of inspiration for bracket creators. There are no rules in making a bracket, and no one has ever completed a perfect one.
Let's take a look at this year's batch of celebrity brackets.
