CBS College Basketball From Winter to March
CBS carries selected regular-season college basketball and part of the men's NCAA tournament through its national broadcast network and local affiliates. Read the rows above as confirmed game-level listings. Each row joins the local tip time, teams, venue and exact carrier; broad conference or network announcements are useful context but do not replace that assignment.
What belongs on this schedule
Recent official schedules have included prominent weekend conference games and tournament windows. The current dated board should lead because opponents and tip times change from one season to the next. Open the CBS or Paramount+ live listing and match the teams. During March, use the exact network assignment because other tournament games run simultaneously on TBS, TNT and truTV.
Ways to Receive Your Local CBS Feed
Fans may watch through a local CBS station, an antenna where reception is available, a TV service, or the eligible Paramount+ Premium live CBS feed. Local availability matters. Access can change with the viewer's plan, location and device. Test the viewing route before a must-watch game, and use the official destination for account, billing or playback questions.

CBS Versus CBS Sports Network
CBS and CBS Sports Network are different channels. Paramount+ access to a local CBS game also should not be read as automatic access to every event carrying the CBS Sports brand. Dates and television decisions can move after a matchup first enters the season schedule. Return close to tip-off, especially when a time remains TBA or several games share one evening window.
Avoid a similar channel or service label
Weekend CBS games often sit in compact national windows. Check whether the row is regular season or NCAA tournament, then confirm the local station before arranging a watch party. Tournament matchups and later-round times are announced in stages. An empty CBS list can change after brackets advance, but this page will not guess the next network window.
