March Madness comes to an end with CBS Sports and TNT Sports providing extensive coverage of the 2025 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship.

Their exclusive coverage from San Antonio, Texas, comes as the Men’s Final Four consists of all four No. 1 seeds–Duke, Houston, Florida and Auburn–for only the second time in history. Coincidentally, the last time this happened–2008–San Antonio had hosted the Final Four.

CBS will televise the NCAA Men’s Final Four National Semifinals on Saturday, April 5, and the National Championship on Monday, April 7, with all pregame and postgame coverage and live games also streaming on NCAA March Madness Live and Paramount+.

Saturday’s first NCAA Men’s Final Four game will tip off at 6:09 p.m. ET with Florida facing Auburn.

Then, 40 minutes after the completion of the first game, Duke will take on Houston.

Ian Eagle will call the action alongside analysts Grant Hill and Bill Raftery and reporter Tracy Wolfson for the second year. Gene Steratore will serve as rules analyst for the sixth straight year.

NCAA Men’s Final Four coverage will tip off at 3 PM, ET with The Final Four Show Built by The Home Depot, live from San Antonio. Adam Zucker will host alongside analyst Jalen Rose, Seth Davis and Wally Szczerbiak.

Coverage continues with At the Final Four presented by Nissan at 4 PM, ET, followed by At the Final Four at 5 PM, ET, hosted by Ernie Johnson alongside analysts Charles Barkley, Clark Kellogg, Kenny Smith and Jay Wright. Coverage will include live interviews with the Final Four coaches and exclusive behind-the-scenes access with NCAA March Madness Confidential. Additionally, the broadcast will include a look-in to Jelly Roll’s performance from Saturday’s Coke Studio LIVE at the March Madness Music Festival.
