TV Answer Man, can you let us know what the next March Madness games are and what channels will have them? This has been a nightmare trying to keep track of all these games. — Jamal, Cincinnati.
Jamal, I feel your pain. With four networks broadcasting the March Madness games at different times, it sometimes feels like a homework assignment to find out who’s playing, when and on which channels. But let the The TV Answer Man offer you a Cliff Notes for the next round of games, known as the Sweet 16.

Madison Square Garden in New York
TBS
Arkansas vs. UConn at 7:15 p.m.
T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas
CBS

The Elite Eight round will begin play on TBS with two games starting at 6 p.m. ET on Saturday, March 25 and two games on CBS starting at 2 p.m. ET on Sunday, March 26. Then the Final Four will be on CBS on Saturday, April 1 starting at 6 p.m. ET and the Final will be on CBS on Monday, April 3, at 9 p.m. ET.
The games will also be available via streaming on the March Madness Live app if you have a pay TV user name and password. (There is a three-hour free preview, but one time only.)
Last point: The game will be in high-def, not 4K. No March Madness games this season are in 4K.
Jamal, hope that helps. Happy viewing and stay safe!
