What used to be a niche tournament for die-hard fans is now a frenzied national phenomenon. With over 9.4 million views per game in 2025, NCAA men’s and women’s college basketball has cemented its status as a couch-based spectacle, particularly for younger generations. And this season, viewers won’t miss a single minute, thanks to DoorDash. Adding groceries, alcohol, decorations and even TVs and sound systems to their local offerings, DoorDash brings the whole watch party into your living room.
Like other televised tournaments, the tournament is above all a social event. But your family and friends are hungry. They’re thirsty. They want a big game, a game that looks big and sounds big. With a wide selection of items you can get delivered, DoorDash can make it happen, even if all you wake up with on game day is a couch.
What can I get delivered with DoorDash?
- Meals: DoorDash brings the main course hot from a restaurant and right to your door. And by ordering through the app, you won’t even have to step out of the room.
