Orlando is ready to welcome eight of the best University basketball teams in the country and thousands of their fans as March Madness arrives in Orlando.
This Thursday, March 16 and Saturday, March 18, 2023, The University of Central Florida
hosts the First and Second Rounds of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship at Orlando's Amway Center.
The city will host four games over two sessions on the first day, and two games in one session on the second day, and with the teams now selected that are coming to Orlando, we can look forward to seeing teams including Tennessee and Duke University playing at the Amway Center.
This is the first time that Orlando has hosted March Madness since 2017, and the excitement is building, not to mention the economic benefit, which will be worth millions to the city.
Over 10,000 hotel rooms have been booked, flags and banners are on display across downtown, bars and restaurants are busy planning, and the city has huge block parties organized outside the Amway Center on both match days.
