Fr. Tim Schenck and Fr. Scott Gunn are back! For one video. Some will rejoice, most will roll their eyes. Tim and Scott are here to wish the new Supreme Executive Committee -- Fr. Michael Sahdev and Fr. Christian Anderson -- well as they lead the Lent Madness Global Viewing Public through the triumphs and tribulations of Lent Madness 2026.

Wondering about Saintly Scorecards? Scott and Tim are here to tell you how you can be your own scorecard. Wondering about bracket posters? Tim and Scott are here to tell you how to buy one right now! Seriously, if you want a bracket poster, order right away! The deadline for Lent Madness orders to arrive on time is coming soon.

As you listen to the video, you might ponder the strangely reverberant voice of Tim. Could it be that Scott forgot to change a key setting when the video was recorded? Nah! The echo is simply because Tim's garden is wonderfully resonant. That echo is a feature, not a bug!

Anyway, get ready for Lent Madness 2026. Follow along here or on Instagram.

Happy New Year to all Lent Madness fans! We have a new SEC, and changes are afoot!

This year there will be no Saintly Scorecard published in advance. Bios by celebrity bloggers will be posted in each day's matchup to keep things fresh and exciting.

Matchup posts will begin the first week of Lent, on Thursday, February 19. We are looking forward to playing along with you!

You can still view the bracket in advance to record each day’s progress. Visit the Bracket section of the website to view the matchup calendar and submit your predictions for 2026.

Or order your own poster to hang on your wall!

Follow the excitement with your very own poster-size bracket! Keep track of who is on the right path to the Golden Halo. Hang the bracket in the hallway, classroom, or on the ceiling over your bed so Lent Madness is your last thought before sleep and your first upon waking!

Size: 24" x 36" (folded to 9" x 12" for shipping)

The cost is just $15 for each poster, or $10 each for 5+ copies.
