Ok, so I found it a little frustrating than when I try to find a decent March Madness TV guide and brackets last night. There’s not anything out there that just shows me what channels are showing the games. Most of what I came across was trying to tell me the 9 million reasons to sign-up for FuboTV, etc.
So, from my experience, this guide lays out what channels are carrying which rounds of play for you during March Madness for both the men and the women’s tournaments.
That way you can choose what type of service you want to use to watch the games and so forth. It’s already been a fun men’s tournament with the women’s March Madness gearing up today.
How Do I Know What Channels Broadcast March Madness?
So, when you’re trying to figure out what channels are showing which games today, don’t go crazy. In our experience, looking at the schedule first to see which games interest you is key. Then sort the pile on what channel you need to go find. For the 2024 NCAA Tournament, all of the men’s games are being shown on CBS, TNT, TBS, and truTV. The Women’s is on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU. If you like to stream your sports, Paramount + is showing the CBS games, and ESPN+ is showing some of them as well.

The Men’s tournament started yesterday and the women’s today. In total, if you count the First Four games, we’ll see 134 total games across both tournaments until the Men’s Championship on April 8th, 2024. We have included a solid listing of all of the channels for you below to check out the game action. We also have the men’s and women’s brackets for you to check out.

I have the March Madness Women’s Bracket for 2024 posted up here for you to view and stuff. In our experience, the best time to print a bracket is before the first game you plan to watch that day. If not, you may end up just wasting ink. You might try poker online instead.

IE don’t be like me waking up on the coach this morning what day it is! This should be a fun weekend. Enjoy all of the games.
