TNT Sports and CBS Sports have announced their roster of commentators ahead of March Madness getting underway across their various networks.

Their combined coverage of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship will feature an experienced and deep lineup of announcers from their full-time rosters.

Ian Eagle, Bill Raftery, Grant Hill and Tracy Wolfson will call this year’s NCAA Men’s Final Four National Semifinals on Saturday, April 4 and National Championship on Monday, April 6 from Indianapolis on TBS. This is the third year in a row they will call the Final Four together. This is the ninth time that Indianapolis is hosting the Final Four and National Championship. The last time they hosted was in 2021.

Among the changes for this year’s game announcers:

• Robbie Hummel will call games through the Regional Finals.
• Chris Webber returns as a game analyst.
• Candace Parker and Wally Szczerbiak will serve as game analysts through the Second Round.
• Brandon Gaudin and Jared Greenberg join the team.

Adam Zucker and Nate Burleson will host studio coverage from the CBS Broadcast Center in New York, joined by Charles Barkley, Clark Kellogg and Kenny Smith. Adam Lefkoe will host studio coverage from TNT Sports Studios in Atlanta alongside Bruce Pearl, Jamal Mashburn, Jalen Rose and Seth Davis. Renee Montgomery and Pearl will also make appearances from the CBS Broadcast Center. Jamie Erdahl will provide game updates.

Ernie Johnson will host studio coverage for the Final Four in Indianapolis. It was previously reported that Johnson would not be hosting earlier rounds due to Inside the NBA ramping up as the NBA season inches closer towards the end of the season.

The tournament will tip off Tuesday, March 17 and Wednesday, March 18 with the NCAA First Four on truTV. Jordan Kent, Jim Spanarkel and reporter Jenny Dell will call the first game on Tuesday and both Wednesday games from Dayton, Ohio.
