Trying to find a place to watch your favorite schools for March Madness? Here are watch parties and affiliated bars for every first-round game.

WASHINGTON — March Madness tips in earnest just after noon on Thursday, and with so many transplants around the D.C. area, there are plenty of watch parties for the schools competing. Games are listed by start time and include watch parties, the general areas of watch parties if none are listed or no listing if we weren’t able to find one. WTOP is still waiting to hear back from several schools, but if you know of a watch party not on the list, send WTOP an email and it will be added. (AP Photo/Morry Gash, File)
