If DirecTV is your cable provider and you’re not sure about which channel CBS is on in your area, we have you covered. Be advised that not all markets offer CBS live television. If you’re not sure about whether or not you can view CBS on DirecTV in your area, check here for availability.

CBS has its own streaming service, CBS All Access, and an upgraded subscription will allow you to access CBS during the tournament through your local CBS affiliate. Sling TV offers the other three stations, TruTV, TBS and TNT, but it does not offer CBS.
