March Madness continues across CBS, TBS, TNT and truTV on Saturday and Sunday. Paramount subscribers will be able to watch every game airing on CBS, while the March Madness Live app will have every game, period. There’s also HBO Max, which carries all the games going up on TBS, TNT and truTV.
Saturday begins with three straight games on CBS as No. 1 seeds Duke and Michigan look to hold off expected tough tests from No. 9 seeds TCU and Saint Louis, respectively. The nightcap comes on TBS with No. 12 High Point aiming to keep its hot-shooting and upset-minded run rolling against a No. 4 seed Arkansas team that is surging at the right time. In between are four other tremendous games featuring the likes of No. 2 seed Houston and No. 11 seeds Texas and VCU.
The First Four served as a nice appetizer, but the 2026 NCAA Tournament got underway in earnest in the first round, though the upsets and shocking results that were rampant on Thursday did not exactly carry over into Friday. Still, there are now just 32 teams left in March Madness on the men’s side, and the national championship contenders will be whittled down to a mere 16 before the weekend is out.
Below are the announcing teams, channel assignments and tip times for every second round game on Saturday and Sunday.
