How to watch March Madness games in 2022
CBS and Turner Sports stations (TBS, TNT and truTV) will continue to split broadcast duties in the 2022 NCAA Tournament, a deal that will run through 2032. CBS will broadcast 18 of the 63 NCAA Tournament games (67 if you count the First Four).
TBS will broadcast the the Final Four and national championship game this year for the first time since 2018; the 2020 tournament was canceled because of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and, when the tournament resumed under COVID protocols in 2021, CBS resumed control as exclusive broadcaster (despite that TBS missed out the previous year).
