Posted on Reddit by user [idTAPPSthat](https://www.reddit.com/r/gameofthrones/comments/60kst2/no%5Fspoilers%5Fmarch%5Fmadness%5Fgame%5Fof%5Fthrones%5Fstyle/ "undefined"), the bracket is jam-packed with epic one-on-one matchups between the Seven Kingdoms’ best fighters, including first round bouts pitting Bronn against Syrio Forel, Brienne of Tarth against Yara Greyjoy and Loras Tyrell against Stannis Baratheon. There’s even the potential for [Cleganebowl](http://time.com/4354413/game-of-thrones-cleganebowl-explained/ "undefined") in the Final Four. Of course, that would mean the Hound would have to defeat the one-seeded Jon Snow first. See the full bracket below and pick your winner. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4717097/game-of-thrones-march-madness-bracket/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4717097/game-of-thrones-march-madness-bracket/"},"headline":"This Game of Thrones March Madness Bracket Is Overflowing With Epic Face-Offs","datePublished":"2017-03-29T20:50:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-06-24T06:56:50.184Z","description":"Did someone say Cleganebowl?","url":"https://time.com/4717097/game-of-thrones-march-madness-bracket/","keywords":["viral","Newsfeed","Television","game of thrones","TV","March Madness"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta0c5e20ddb63c57e/69889808fb4eac2a8188dee2/game-of-thrones-episode-9-4.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta0c5e20ddb63c57e/69889808fb4eac2a8188dee2/game-of-thrones-episode-9-4.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Game-of-Thrones-Battle-of-The-Bastards-Jon-Snow","caption":"","creditText":"HBO","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/viral/","name":"viral"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4717097/game-of-thrones-march-madness-bracket/","name":"This Game of Thrones March Madness Bracket Is Overflowing With Epic Face-Offs"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"This Video Is No Longer Available","description":"Did someone say Cleganebowl?","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/fKodeUO6/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2026-06-23T15:00:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/fKodeUO6.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4717097/game-of-thrones-march-madness-bracket/","duration":"PT10S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4717097/game-of-thrones-march-madness-bracket/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
