March Madness 2023: What channel is truTV on DirecTV and Xfinity?

College basketball fans wanting to catch every March Madness game in the 2023 NCAA Tournament need to know what channel truTV is on DirecTV and Xfinity.

There are few better things than the first weekend of March Madness when the college basketball action is just non-stop. The diehards are locked in with four screens running four simultaneous games at once and, frankly, you have to respect them for it.

But whether you are in that group or are just wanting to watch your favorite team play, you might be introduced to a new channel that, frankly, you don’t know where to find. Unless you are a big fan of Impractical Jokers re-runs, there’s a good chance that a lot of March Madness fans don’t know where to find truTV with their given provider.

In the true interest of sportsmanship and for the love of college hoops, though, we’re here to help you out. We’re looking at three of the most popular providers, DirecTV, Xfinity and Dish, and then helping you find which channel truTV is so you can watch the March Madness action.

What channel is truTV on DirecTV for March Madness?

Fans looking for the channel on DirecTV need to tune into channel 246 to find truTV. This actually fits right into what you’re looking for too as all of the channels, sans CBS, that show NCAA Tournament games are in a row with TNT on channel 245, 246 here, and then TBS on channel 247. Minimal clicking over to get check on the other games — rejoice!
