2019 NCAA Tournament schedule: March Madness bracket, game dates, locations, TV tip times

The 2019 NCAA Tournament is upon us. And while it’s great to know the 68-team field and download a printable bracket to get in on the action, it’s all for naught if you don’t know when the games themselves are being played!  That’s why we’re here, to help you with just that.

Below you will find the schedule for this year’s NCAA Tournament. It is not completed just yet as we still need to know formal tip times, announcer schedules and TV assignments — but all of that will be announced soon enough. For now, let’s take a look at the schedule from the First Four all the way to the national championship game.

Be sure to check in often as this story will update every single time the NCAA Tournament schedule is adjusted. Games will be aired on CBS, TNT, TBS and truTV — and as always, you can also watch every game in the tourney via March Madness Live beginning Tuesday night on truTV with the First Four.
