Final Four[]
Between 1939 and 1951, the National Semifinals were hosted at the Regional sites and the National Championship game was hosted at a separate site. For those years, this table only includes the host of the National Championship game. In 1952, the Final Four evolved to the current format of four Regional winners meeting at a separate site.
