The 2025 men's Final Four is set for San Antonio on Saturday, April 5, with four number one seeds doing battle to compete for the national championship.

No. 1 Auburn, the top overall seed in the tournament, emerged from the South Region and will take on No. 1 seed Florida, who won the West Region of the bracket in a battle of two SEC foes.

Auburn and Florida met just one time in the regular season, back on Feb. 8, when the No. 6 Gators defeated the No. 1 Tigers 90–81 on the road.

In the other Final Four matchup, the No. 1 seed Duke Blue Devils emerged from the East Region and will take on the No. 1 Houston Cougars, who won the Midwest Region.

The winners of the Final Four matchups will play in the men's national championship on Monday, April 7.
