Kansas Jayhawks vs. UNC national championship game isn’t on CBS. Here’s how to watch
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.
