Let’s Play Some Shirts vs. Skins

In honor of March Madness, we're playing basketball the Playboy way.

Entertainment & Culture March 16, 2026

Some await the coming of spring, when we finally get longer days and colorful blooms after the cold of winter. Some, though, simply await March Madness, when college basketball reigns supreme. This year, March madness kicks off on March 17 in Dayton, Ohio, following Selection Sunday on March 15. Once the 68-team bracket is set, the top college teams will go toe to toe on the court.

In true Playboy fashion, we’ve put our own spin on the sport, trading out athletes with Playmates and bunnies galore. Below, find some of our best basketball-themed photos to get you ready for a month of madness.
