The NCAA Men’s Final Four will return to Detroit in 2027, according to Dave Beachnau, executive director of the Detroit Sports Commission. “We’ve worked hard with our partners to bring this top event to college basketball fans all around the state, and we can’t wait to see how it will benefit the area. With the recent news that Detroit will host the 2024 NFL Draft and the momentum we’ve seen indicating that Detroit is on the comeback trail, it’s been a great year for sports in Michigan.”
