Get your brackets ready. Selection Sunday is officially set for March 15, 2026, kicking off the high-stakes journey for both the men’s and women’s NCAA tournaments. The on-court action begins Tuesday, March 17, with the First Four. This year, the road to the championship leads to Indianapolis for the men and Columbus for the women, with broadcasters providing more ways than ever to catch every buzzer-beater.

For the men's tournament, coverage is a joint effort between Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount Global. Fans can find games across CBS, TBS, TNT, and truTV. If you have cut the cord, Paramount+ will stream all games airing on CBS, while the NCAA March Madness Live app remains the primary digital hub for all 67 games in the men's bracket.

The women’s tournament continues its massive television expansion with The Walt Disney Company leading the broadcast. Every matchup will be available across ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2, with streaming available through the ESPN App and ESPN+. For viewers wanting a comprehensive experience, live TV streaming services like Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, and Sling TV offer packages that include all the necessary channels to follow both brackets from the opening tip-off to the final trophy presentation.
