2022 NCAA Division II men's sites – regionals (white) and Elite Eight (red)
Regionalsedit
First-, second-, and third-round games, which comprise each regional championship, will take place on campus sites on March 11, 12, and 14. With the exception of the West Regional, the top-seeded team in each regional will serve as host.
These eight locations were chosen to host regional games for the 2022 tournament:
The national quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals were held on March 22, 24, and 26 at a pre-determined site, the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana.
Qualificationedit
A total of sixty-four bids are available for the tournament: 23 automatic bids (awarded to the champions of the twenty-three Division II conferences) and 41 at-large bids.
The bids are allocated evenly among the eight NCAA-designated regions (Atlantic, Central, East, Midwest, South, South Central, Southeast, and West), each of which contains either two or three of the 23 Division II conferences that sponsor men's basketball (after the Heartland Conference disbanded in 2019, the South Central Region now features only two conferences). Each region consists of two or three automatic qualifiers (the teams who won their respective conference tournaments) and either five or six at-large bids, awarded regardless of conference affiliation.
