2025 NCAA Tournament scores, schedule: March Madness bracket, game dates, locations, tip times, TV channels - CBSSports.com

The greatest two days in American sports are in the books, but two days almost equally as superb are ahead this weekend as the 2025 NCAA Tournament begins its second round with wall-to-wall action including eight games spanning noon until the late evening on Saturday and Sunday. What started as a 68-team bracket is already down to 32 teams. It will be further truncated to 16 teams by the end of play Sunday as the chase to the national championship continues at a frenetic pace.

No. 1 seeds Auburn and Houston are among the 16 teams in action Saturday, though the tastiest matchup may be a showdown between two former Kentucky coaches now at different schools. Rick Pitino's No. 2-seed St. John's meets John Calipari's No. 10-seed Arkansas for a 12:40 p.m. ET tip on CBS.

The dates, sites and scores for every 2025 NCAA Tournament game are listed below culminating with the Final Four and NCAA championship game on April 5 and 7 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

The road to the Final Four is a long but worthwhile journey, so be sure to check in often as CBS Sports will update this page every time the NCAA Tournament schedule is adjusted. Games will be aired across CBS, TNT, TBS and truTV and available on March Madness Live. All games airing on CBS will also be available to Paramount+ subscribers.
