March Madness is one of the biggest sporting events of the year. It features some of the best college basketball teams in the country and some of the biggest stars of the future.
Besides being a treat for basketball fans, the NCAA Tournament has also been a big commercial success. Due to the popularity of the event, many brands and companies want to have their commercials shown during it.
There have been many great March Madness commercials, but here are the best of them.
These March Madness commercials are amazing
Ja Morant's Powerade commercial
Ja Morant has been involved in a lot of controversy lately, which is why his partnership with Powerade hasn't worked out. This is very unfortunate since the sports drink had a fantastic commercial to show during the basketball tournament.
The ad features the Memphis Grizzlies star and his road to success. However, the ad won't air since the Coca-Cola Company decided to distance itself from the point guard.

Phil's color commentary for AT&T
AT&T had had many March Madness commercials lately and the company also sponsors the 2023 tournament. However, several commercials from 2019 were funny and basketball fans loved them.
These commercials feature Phil, a character who plays several roles. However, Phil doesn't quite understand what color commentary is.
Oreo freestyle rap by Shaquille O'Neal
Shaquille O'Neal has many talents. While most people know him for his incredible basketball skins, O'Neal is also a rapper, an actor, a basketball analyst, and much more.
Due to this, it's no surprise that Oreo had a commercial with Shaq in which the basketball legend raps. The commercial was released in 2017.
In The Annapolis commercial for Capital One
Capital One promoted credit cards with a couple of hilarious commercials during the NCAA Tournament over the past few years. The "Annapolis" commercial was one of them and is certainly among the greatest March Madness commercials of all time.
The commercial features Charles Barkley, Samuel L. Jackson and Spike Lee. It was first released in 2015, but was brought back in 2021.
Coca-Cola's basketball rivalry commercial
Coca-Cola's commercial from 2017 has an interesting take on the rivalry between the Kansas Jayhawks and the Kentucky Wildcats. It features a group of Kentucky fans who are unable to watch basketball due to a power blackout.
The fans decided to visit their neighbor's home to watch the game, but the neighbor is a Kansas fan and turns them down. Fortunately, Coca-Cola makes everything better, which is why the commercial had a happy ending.
