About this app

The #1 bracket app is back and better than ever for the 2025 NCAA Men’s and Women’s College Basketball tournaments! Compete against friends, ESPN personalities and celebrities to see who finishes with the best bracket. It’s completely free to play with over $350K in total prizes across all four bracket games!

- In each bracket game (Men’s, Women’s, Men’s Second Chance and Women’s Second Chance) create up to 25 brackets and enter each bracket in up to 10 different groups to play against friends, celebrities, ESPN personalities, and fans across the nation.
- Use Quick Bracket to auto-fill a bracket in seconds with top seeds, random teams, Smart Picks powered ESPN Analytics, and more!
- Short on time? No problem. Pick from a few simple options in the ‘Finish My Bracket’ menu and ESPN will automatically complete your bracket. Unsure about a game or two? You can also import a bracket that you’ve already filled out in the app, make some tweaks and submit it again to increase your chances of winning.
- Make picks directly from Matchup Preview screens, with key stats, information, and historical insights for each team to help you make the most informed selections.
- Use the Bracketcast tab once games tip off to follow scores and your bracket's performance in real time, all in one view.
- Check out the ESPN Perfect Bracket Tracker to see how many perfect brackets remain in both the Men’s and Women’s tourneys as the upsets start rolling in.

Buggy, laggy, have to force quit often. Takes forever to start up and log in to the app. Not sure why this is. Works fine on my Apple devices, but on Android has always been terrible user experience. on my third different phone and the experience is the same. I honestly don't know why I keep using this one instead of one of the other options. I do like the analysis and the ease of setting up a group, but next year I think I'll find a different option.

Too many irrelevant notifications that can't be turned off. (Preceding is my original 2 star review) Editing review to 1 star this year because in addition to the kinds of notifications about the Men's tournament that I do not want. The app is now sending out an equal amount of similar notifications for the Women's tournament, and when I try and use the in app toggle to turn off tournament notifications it always says "cannot connect to server please try again later"

horribly designed app login. I can't log in without a passcode that is sent to my email. if I close the app to open my email, the app resets. then I need another code, so I have to go to my email, but the app resets. I think you get the point. a company like Disney should probably have that figured out.
