The NCAA Tournament bracket has been set, and March Madness is about to takeover the sports world for the next month. You’re going to want to be tuned in to all of the action, and that means answering the age-old question that befuddles college basketball fans each season, “What channel is truTV?”

You’ve come to the right place. While Impractical Jokers reruns usually adorn the channel, college basketball guest stars on truTV when March rolls around. Check out where you can find truTV on every cable and satellite provider below, and get prepared for all the NCAA Tournament fun this weekend.

  • AT&T U-Verse — 164/1164
  • Verizon FIOS — 183/683
  • DISH Network — 242
  • DirecTV — 246
  • Spectrum — Varies by location (area code search)
  • Xfinity — Varies by location (area code search)

There you have it. While truTV will only be in use for the First Round and Second Round this weekend, it’s still paramount to know where you can catch each game. There’s a bevy of fascinating ones on the channel, beginning with the First Four on Tuesday and Wednesday — North Carolina and Texas will both be in action.

Additionally, there’s a bevy of popular teams who will be playing on truTV this weekend, as well. Purdue, Clemson, Missouri and Texas Tech will play on the channel on Thursday, while Alabama, Arizona and Oregon will take center stage on Friday. Of course, it’s all of a matter of who wins in the First Round to see who’s playing on the channel on Saturday and Sunday.

When the actions starts, it’s anyone’s guess who will be victorious at the end of the NCAA Tournament. Duke (+310) has the best odds at the moment, followed by Florida (+400), Auburn (+500) and Houston (+700), via FanDuel Sportsbook. However, we’ve learned over the past couple of seasons that it’s all about who can get hot when March rolls around.

Time will tell who stands above all in the NCAA Tournament. One thing is for sure, all of the action will be can’t-miss throughout March, and truTV will be getting a workout. Now that you know how to find each game, all that’s left is to sit back and enjoy the madness that college basketball provides this time of the year.
