Warner Bros. Discovery still owns the broadcast rights to the men’s NCAA Tournament, while ESPN owns rights to the women’s tournament.

So, to watch men’s games in the US, they’ll be available on CBS, TBS, TNT and TruTV, or on the Paramount+ streaming platform. Women’s games will be on ESPN’s family of networks, and ABC.

In Canada, TSN has the rights to both.

Here’s the schedule by round:

Men’s NCAA Tournament Broadcast Schedule

Betting Advice When Using March Madness Betting Promos

We here at SBD pride ourselves on giving you the best sports betting advice. Not only can you check out our aforementioned previews, but we also have a ton of March Madness betting guides to help with everything from your bracket to betting on March Madness games.

• Picking March Madness Champions
• Sweet 16 & Elite 8 Trends
• Final Four Trends to Look For
• First Round March Madness Trends
• How to Spot a March Madness Upset

There’s also some general advice to follow when using your promos. If you’re using a No Sweat bonus, which gives you bonus bets if your first bet loses, you might want to look at longer moneyline odds, or pick that major underdog to pull off the upset. Bonus bets aren’t real money, so make sure you’re not betting more than you’re willing to lose, but No Sweat or First Bet bonuses, like you can get with our BetMGM bonus code, do give you a bit of insurance.

With a Bet & Get promo, you’ll want to be a bit more selective, especially if your bet needs to win to get your bonus, as it does with our FanDuel promo code. That’s where you might want to take the 1 to beat the 16, and essentially guarantee your bonus (unless Purdue is involved). Even when the Bet & Get doesn’t require a win to receive your bonus, you’re better off picking a winner, as you’ll get those winnings along with your bonus.

You will also want to keep an eye out for odds boosts and profit boost tokens that the best college basketball betting sites will be offering, as they can increase your payout on daily bets.
