ESPN Tournament Challenge

The #1 bracket app is back and better than ever for the 2026 NCAA Men’s and Women’s College Basketball tournaments! Compete against friends, ESPN personalities and celebrities to see who finishes with the best bracket. It’s completely free to play with over $370K in total prizes across all four bracket games!

- In each bracket game (Men’s, Women’s, Men’s Second Chance and Women’s Second Chance) create up to 25 brackets and enter each bracket in up to 10 different groups to play against friends, celebrities, ESPN personalities, and fans across the nation.
- Use ESPN Bracket Predictor and Bracket Analyzer to take your bracket experience to the next level with the tools and data you’ll need to gain an edge on your competition.
- Use Quick Bracket to auto-fill a bracket in seconds with top seeds, random teams, Smart Picks powered ESPN Analytics, and more!
- Short on time? No problem. Pick from a few simple options in the ‘Finish My Bracket’ menu and ESPN will automatically complete your bracket. Unsure about a game or two? You can also import a bracket that you’ve already filled out in the app, make some tweaks and submit it again to increase your chances of winning.
- Make picks directly from Matchup Preview screens, with key stats, information, and historical insights for each team to help you make the most informed selections.
- Use the Bracketcast tab once games tip off to follow scores and your bracket's performance in real time, all in one view.
- Check out the ESPN Perfect Bracket Tracker to see how many perfect brackets remain in both the Men’s and Women’s tourneys as the upsets start rolling in.
