UConn Parade 2024: Route, Date, Time, TV Schedule, Live Stream and More

After winning their second straight national championship and sixth in program history, the UConn Huskies are in store for another celebration.

According to Courtney Ingalls of WTNH 8 in Connecticut, Gov. Ned Lamont announced Tuesday that the city of Hartford will host a victory parade for the Huskies on Saturday starting at 11 a.m. ET.

The parade will begin at the State Capitol building and will be followed by a rally outside the XL Center at 11:30 a.m. ET where players, coaches and other guests will be invited to speak.

Fans can check their local listings for broadcast information regarding the parade. Details about a live stream have not yet been made available.

"For the second year in a row, the UConn men's basketball team wowed the nation by dominating the NCAA tournament, and now it's time for Connecticut to give them the victory celebration they deserve," Gov. Lamont said. "I urge basketball fans from all over Connecticut to come to Hartford on Saturday morning and show the Huskies how much this team means to our state and how proud we are of their accomplishments."

UConn became the first team since Florida in 2006 and 2007 to win back-to-back national titles by defeating Purdue 75-60 on Monday night. The only other programs to ever win consecutive championships are John Wooden's UCLA teams in the 1960s and 1970s and Duke in 1991 and 1992.

The Huskies overcame a 37-point, 10-rebound performance by Boilermakers star and two-time Naismith Player of the Year Zach Edey to secure their second straight title.

UConn senior point guard Tristen Newton was named the Most Outstanding Player of the 2024 NCAA Tournament after leading the team with 20 points and seven assists in Monday's victory. He averaged 14.5 points and 7.2 assists through six tournament games.

The Huskies and their fans will certainly enjoy Saturday's celebration, as UConn is now in rare air as back-to-back champions.
