The series will feature unprecedented off-court access, exclusive game footage and interviews, and coverage of key regular‑season, conference and postseason matchups in the Big 12 and Big Ten. For the first time, cameras follow both teams across an entire season, capturing the intensity, pressure and passion on the road to and through the post-season.

MADE FOR MARCH will stream over four weeks on Paramount+:

“In today’s college basketball environment, it’s not easy to build real connection,” said Michigan’s Men’s Head Basketball Coach, Dusty May. “This group has done that, and there’s something special about who they are and where they’re headed. For the first time ever, this project gives fans an all-access look at Michigan Basketball as we push toward March.”

“For over two decades, the Kansas Men’s Basketball program has been approached for a variety of all-access documentaries, and I have always turned them down,” said Kansas’ Men’s Head Basketball Coach, Bill Self. “However, this is the one moment, with an incredibly special team, where I felt it was finally the right time to let viewers behind the curtain to get an unfettered look at what goes on with Kansas basketball.”

About the teams featured:

o University of Michigan Wolverines, currently ranked #2 in the nation, guided by second-year head coach Dusty May. Behind Senior forward Yaxel Lendeborg, the Wolverines entered the season with one of the most touted transfer classes in the country and have been one of the strongest teams in the sport to date.

o University of Kansas Jayhawks, currently ranked #9 in the nation, led by Hall of Fame head coach Bill Self. With Self having steered the Jayhawks to two national championships, making Kansas one of the most consistently successful programs in the sport, the 2025 – 2026 team is led by widely projected No. 1 NBA draft pick, Darryn Peterson.

The series is produced by Paramount Sports Entertainment and Religion of Sports, an award-winning media company founded by Tom Brady, Michael Strahan and Gotham Chopra. Producers include: Executive produced by Jesse Sisgold & Jon Weinbach for Paramount Sports Entertainment; Executive produced by Gotham Chopra, Ameeth Sankaran and Jonathan Schaerf for Religion of Sports; Executive produced by Collin Orcutt.
