What channel can you find TruTV on during the 2017 NCAA Tournament on DirecTV, Comcast and Time Warner/Spectrum?

There’s nothing more enjoyable as a college basketball fan than March Madness. The 2017 NCAA Tournament should hold true to that. 68 teams battling it out for the right to be called National Champions—it just doesn’t get any better than that. And let’s be real, who doesn’t love immersing themselves in all of the action with four games going at once? But to make that happen, there’s one interesting thing that you need to know that most people don’t on a day-to-day basis: where to find TruTV.

TruTV is part of the Turner family, so they have games broadcast on the network throughout the NCAA Tournament. However, it’s not a channel that many people are particularly familiar with. That’s not a knock on the content and shows that they provide. It’s just to say that they normally don’t host something as widely popular as March Madness.

Because of that, people are oftentimes left flipping aimlessly through the guide on their TV, hopelessly trying not to skip over the TruTV listing. It’s a cycle you’ll surely end up repeating as it’s impossible to not zone out and ultimately miss the channel when scrolling. Subsequently, we’re here to help you out in finding the channel you need to get your college hoops fix.

TruTV’s coverage of March Madness and the 2017 NCAA Tournament begins on Tuesday and Wednesday as they’ll broadcast the First Four games and the 16-seed play-in games. Though these are the last four at-large bids and the four lowest-ranked teams in the tournament, these games are always a ton of fun. So make sure you remember the channel and tune in during tourney time.
