Kansas Jayhawks’ national title game isn’t on CBS. Here’s how to watch and stream

When the Kansas Jayhawks men’s basketball team beat Miami last Sunday for a spot in the 2022 NCAA Final Four in New Orleans, the game was broadcast on CBS.

But KU’s national semifinal victory Saturday night over Villanova — and the Jayhawks’ appearance in Monday night’s national championship game against North Carolina — won’t be on over-the-air free television.

This year’s Final Four will be broadcast on TBS rather than CBS as part of the NCAA’s broadcast rights contract with Turner and CBS that started in 2016 and runs through the 2024 men’s tournament. In even years, the national semifinal and championship games are shown on cable. In odd years they’re on CBS and available over the air.

What channel is the KU basketball national championship game on?

Monday’s Kansas game vs. UNC is on TBS. In Kansas City, that’s channel 104 on Spectrum cable, 112/113 on AT&T U-Verse, 49 on Consolidated Communications, 284 on Google Fiber TV, 196 on Comcast, 247 on DirecTV and 139 on Dish Network.
