The 2023 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament field is set after Selection Sunday, as the 68 teams still holding a ticket to the Big Dance were informed of their seeding and where they would be playing their first round games — while others had their bubbles burst and learned they’d be going to the NIT instead.
With the bracket in place, the attention turned for fans to when the games would be played. Late Sunday night, CBS and Warner Bros. Discovery announced the complete TV schedule for the first round (and First Four) games that will be broadcast on CBS, TBS, TNT, and truTV, along with the commentator teams for each.
