The 2025 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament is here! The first four end, with the first round starting at 12:15pm ET on Thursday. The first game of the first round features #8 Louisville in Lexington, Kentucky in the face of #9 Clayton and airs on CBS. The remaining week will feature TRUTV, TNT and TBS, so you can advance four games to one at any point.
The next four days will be fun due to the excitement the announcers bring to the game. Court talent is important, but some announcers bring a little extra to the viewing experience.
There are so many games every day that we announce many crews. Some are better than others, but everything brings A Game for the most exciting times on the sports calendar.
Below is an overview of all announcer crews for each game over the first round of two days.
