The 2025 NCAA Tournament has completed its first full round of competition with the first round concluding Friday as 68 teams have been whittled down to 32 entering the first weekend of March Madness. The long sprint to the Final Four in San Antonio continues unabated with electric play, shocking finishes and mesmerizing upsets aplenty.
Arguably the most exciting 48 hours on the American sports calendar is now in the books, but an immensely exciting second 48 hours is upon us with 16 more games broadcast by CBS Sports and TNT Sports by the time second-round action concludes Sunday evening. With 67 total games set to be televised across CBS, TBS, TNT and truTV, fans will be able to keep up with all the action no matter when they wish to tune in or how they choose to view the games.
On the call for the NCAA Tournament this year are a number of notable voices with Ian Eagle returning for the second straight season as lead play-by-play announcer and the voice of the Final Four alongside Bill Raftery, Grant Hill and reporter Tracy Wolfson. One year after former Purdue star Robbie Hummel joined the NCAA Tournament broadcast squad, former Michigan standout Jalen Rose steps in as the newest face to serve as an analyst across first- and second-round action.
CBS leads the way televising 24 games during the NCAA Tournament, including the Final Four, Elite 8 and Sweet 16. TBS is televising 18 games, including the Elite 8 and Sweet 16, while truTV is airing or simulcast 21 games and TNT is televising 12 games. In addition to the March Madness Live app, where you can watch every game, Paramount+ subscribers will be able to watch all the games televised by CBS, while Max subscribers can catch the games on TBS, TNT and truTV.
From the Selection Show all the way until the playing of "One Shining Moment" after a champion is crowned, CBS Sports and TNT Sports are thrilled to bring you all the magic of March.
