It has been suggested that NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament bids by school and conferencebemerged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since September 2022.

This is a list of NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament bids by school, and is updated through 2023.^[1] There are currently 68 bids possible each year (32 automatic qualifiers, 36 at-large). Schools not currently in Division I are in italics (e.g., CCNY) and some have appeared under prior names (e.g., UTEP went by Texas Western in 1966). Teams in bold will be participating in the 2023 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament. Vacated appearances are excluded from the Bids table and noted below it.

Bids

As the tournament field started with only 8 teams in 1939 (all "Elite 8" by default), it was not until 1975 that all teams needed to win to advance to an alliteratively-named round (e.g., Elite 8, Sweet 16), hence some gaps may appear in the table for bids prior to 1951.

1939–1950: 8 teams
1951–1952: 16 teams
1953–1974: varied from 22 to 25 teams
1975–present: 32 or more teams
