The 2026 NCAA men’s Final Four will be broadcast on TNT Sports networks (TBS, TNT, truTV) with Ian Eagle, Bill Raftery and Grant Hill calling the games, Tracy Wolfson on sideline and Gene Steratore as rules analyst. Illinois vs. Connecticut opens at 6:09 p.m. ET, followed by Michigan vs. Arizona (tip time to be determined, likely around 8:30–9 p.m. ET). Games stream on NCAA March Madness Live and HBO Max, but are not on Paramount+ since CBS isn’t televising them. Illinois makes its first Final Four appearance in 21 years; UConn reaches its third Final Four in four years.
