NCAA Tournament begins with the First Four play-in games on Tuesday, March 18, 2025 (3/18/25) and Wednesday, March 19, 2025 (3/19/25) at University of Dayton Arena in Dayton, Ohio.

truTV is included in most basic cable subscriptions, but if you’re a cord cutter, a live TV streaming service will be your best bet. Several that include truTV offer free trials, though none of the trials are long enough to span the entire NCAA Tournament.

On DirecTV Stream, truTV is channel 246. For SlingTV, subscribers can access truTV with the Sling Blue package. All of the First Four games are set to be broadcast on truTV along with eight games in the First Round.
