March Madness’ Final Four is here. How to watch the games

The NCAA men’s basketball tournament is nearing the end of its madness with the Final Four, where the semifinal teams on Saturday, April 5, will attempt to punch their ticket to the national championship game.

All four No. 1 seeds advanced to the Final Four for the first time since 2008 and for only the second time since the tournament began seeding teams in 1979.

The winners of the Final Four games will face off on Monday, April 7, to compete for the national championship.

Here’s how to watch the Final Four games taking place at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

Which teams are in the Final Four?

Duke, Auburn, Florida and Houston are the teams that make up the 2025 Final Four. They are the four No. 1 seeds in the March Madness tournament.

Duke, the ACC champions who boast highly coveted NBA prospect Cooper Flagg, breezed by Alabama 85-65 to make the 18th Final Four in school history. The Blue Devils face the Big 12 champion Houston Cougars, who have never won the NCAA tournament and have been a No. 1 seed for three consecutive seasons.
