The wait is over, Michigan fans! After a 37-year championship drought, the Wolverines are back on top of the college basketball world. Head coach Dusty May has led the Maize and Blue to glory, culminating in a thrilling 69-63 victory over Dan Hurley's UConn Huskies in Indianapolis to claim the 2026 NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship.

Now, it's time to celebrate. The team is returning home, and the university has announced a full day of festivities this Saturday, April 11th, to honor the new kings of college hoops. This marks Michigan's first title since the iconic 1989 team won it all by a single point over Seton Hall.

The celebration kicks off with a championship parade, following the same beloved route used for the 2024 football team's title celebration. The parade begins at 10 a.m. ET at the President’s House on Central Campus (815 S. University Ave.) and will travel through State Street before concluding at Yost Ice Arena. Streets along the route will close at 8 a.m., so plan to arrive early to secure your spot along South University Avenue and State Street.

Following the parade, the party moves indoors to the Crisler Center for a special celebration starting at 1 p.m. ET. It's the perfect opportunity for fans to gather and salute the team that brought the championship trophy back to Ann Arbor.

Whether you're lining the streets in your favorite Michigan jersey or joining the crowd at Crisler, Saturday is a day to revel in a historic season. Get ready to show your maize and blue pride as the Wolverines parade through town as national champions once again.
