2025 NCAA Tournament scores, schedule: March Madness bracket, Sweet 16, game dates, tip times, TV channels

All four No. 1 seeds are clear to the second week of the 2025 NCAA Tournament, which is making some interesting history as 68 teams have been whittled down to 16 with four rounds remaining. For the first time in March Madness history, one conference is responsible for seven members of the Sweet 16; that would be the SEC, which is continuing the dominance it flexed throughout the regular season.

Furthermore, the entire Sweet 16 is only made up of teams from four power conferences (SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, ACC). This marks the first time since the field expanded in 1975 that fewer than seven leagues will have teams competing in the second week of the NCAA Tournament.

Whether the SEC will continue marching on and making more history remains to be seen, but what is now known are the tipoff times, locations and network assignments for the eight games taking place Thursday and Friday that will ultimately determine the Elite Eight.

The dates, sites and scores for every 2025 NCAA Tournament game are listed below culminating with the Final Four and NCAA championship game on April 5 and 7 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

The road to the Final Four is a long but worthwhile journey, so be sure to check in often as CBS Sports will update this page every time the NCAA Tournament schedule is adjusted. Games will be aired across CBS, TNT, TBS and truTV and available on March Madness Live. All games airing on CBS will also be available to Paramount+ subscribers.
