Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the NCAA postponed the fall championships, hoping to play them in the spring.[1][2] In September, the NCAA approved a plan to hold fall championships in the spring.[3]

Instead of the usual 64-team tournament, the field is reduced to 48 teams for the 2020 tournament.[3]

Rather than the higher seed hosting the early-round matches, the entire tournament will be played in the state of North Carolina, similar to how the 2021 men's and women's basketball tournaments were held in a single state.[4][5]
