INDIANAPOLIS – As Indiana prepares to host the 2026 NCAA Men’s Final Four, Visit Indy and the Indiana Sports Corp, in cooperation with the NCAA, are launching the Indiana Hoops Pass, a free, interactive digital experience celebrating the state’s deep-rooted basketball heritage.

Designed as a “passport to Hoosier Hoops History & Hype,” the Indiana Hoops Pass invites locals and visitors to explore why Indiana is considered the heartland of basketball. Fans can download or register for the Pass beginning today (March 23) and check in at designated basketball landmarks across the state leading up to and during Final Four weekend (April 3-6).

Participants earn points for each QR code scan or digital check-in, unlocking tiered prizes that include koozies, stickers, hats, and FREE tickets to the Men’s Final Four Fan Fest Presented By Capital One.

The statewide experience includes iconic basketball destinations in Indianapolis and beyond, such as Lucas Oil Stadium, Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Hinkle Fieldhouse, Mackey Arena, Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, Hoosier Gym, or the Milan ’54 Museum. From historic gyms and college arenas to public art and museums, the Pass showcases the places and moments that define Indiana’s basketball legacy.

Prizes can be redeemed between April 3-6 during Final Four weekend at The INDEX (Indy’s official visitor center) on Georgia Street, located in the Pan Am Tower at 201 S. Capitol Ave. with additional pickup locations at select visitors centers statewide.
