March Madness 2024: Tracking all NCAA Tournament automatic bids

Tickets to March Madness have been punched.

The first NCAA Tournament automatic bids were awarded via the Ohio Valley men's and women's conference tournaments.

UT Martin became the first March Madness-bound program after defeating Little Rock in the women's semifinals on Friday. The Ohio Valley's automatic bid ultimately wasn't decided by the final, where UT Martin lost to regular-season champion Southern Indiana, because Southern Indiana has to go through a four-year probationary period as a new Division I program before it can qualify for March Madness.

Then, on Saturday, the first spot in the men's NCAA Tournament was secured by Morehead State after taking down Little Rock in the Ohio Valley championship.

In the days leading up to the bracket reveals on Selection Sunday, more than 60 other total teams will join UT Martin and Morehead State by automatically qualifying for March Madness.

How many March Madness automatic bids are there?

There are 32 automatic bids in both the men's and women's tournaments. Winning a conference tournament results in an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The rest of the fields are filled out by at-large bids.
