March Madness TV time plan: Which channel is Trutv? Where else can you look at the NCAA tournament?

by

March Madness can finally start with the official bracket. The field of 68 was determined by the selection committee on Sunday, and while some of its decisions redeemed controversy, the show must continue.

But before that can happen, the field must be tapped to 64 teams. The opening set of games – called the first four – takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday. The winners of these games will rise to the first round of the event.

On Tuesday, St. Francis and Alabama State will deal with the St. Francis and Alabama state to determine which team of seed No. 16 will be in the south. After that, North Carolina and San Diego will fight for which team of seed No. 11 will be in the south.

The last two games of the first four take place on Wednesday. The winner of Mount St. Mary's and American will enter the seed No. 16 in the east, and Xavier and Texas will play in the middle west for No. 11 seeds.

Four different networks will wear March Madness Games in 2025. The entire first four will be broadcast on Trutv on Tuesday and Wednesday. Trutv is channel 246 on DirectV. It is listed as a channel 242 on the bowl. It varies with other providers. As soon as the first round of the tournament begins, Tutv, CBS, TNT and TBS will play various games.

Seasons and TV networks were not announced for the second round, Sweet 16 or Elite eight at that time. Both last four games and the national championship are broadcast on CBS.
