With two days of the 2026 NCAA Tournament in the books, it’s now on to the Round of 32. CBS and TNT Sports have announced the tip-off times for Sunday’s second-round games, including TV channels and broadcasters for each matchup.

Friday’s slate of games got off to a strong start as Otega Oweh sent Kentucky vs. Santa Clara to overtime following a chaotic final 15 seconds of regulation. The Wildcats then came away with the victory to advance in the 2026 NCAA Tournament in a day filled with chalk. From there, more tight finishes and dominant performances highlighted the night, including Florida’s historic win over Prairie View A&M.

Now, the stage is set for the Round of 32 with spots in the Sweet Sixteen on the line. Here is the full list of tip-off times and TV channels for Sunday’s games.
