What channel will the Final Four air on as March Madness continues on this weekend?

March Madness has dominated the airways this past month. With a lot of action spread across almost an entire day, fans had to know what channels all the games were on as they flipped between March Madness match-ups. The Final Four will only air on TBS starting with the Villanova Wildcats taking on the Oklahoma Sooners at 6:00 pm ET on Saturday.

This year’s Final Four is on TBS as the current television deal for March Madness has CBS and Turner Sports alternating who has the rights to Final Four and the final game every year. CBS airs the Final Four and final game in odd years, while Turner Sports shows the games live in even years. Additionally, TNT and TruTV will air team stream broadcasts for each team.

These broadcasts offer a different perspective for the Final Four and championship games especially for those whose team is still in the tournament. Turner Sports usually brings in talent that have some connection to the Final Four participants whether they played for the team in the past or were an alumnus of the school. It may be tough to select only a few from Syracuse as the school’s journalism and broadcasting program has a rich history of producing successful graduates who go on to big time roles.

The Final Four matches will take place on Saturday night on TBS with team stream broadcasts on both TNT and TruTV. Fans will have ample options and angles to tune into as they witness first hand who moves into the final game of March Madness.
