NCAA Tournament Selection Show free livestream 2025: How to watch, TV, time

The NCAA Tournament has finally arrived, as the selection show is scheduled for tonight. The event will begin at 5 p.m. CT on CBS. Fans can watch the entire show for free online by using the free trials offered by DirecTV Stream and Fubo TV.

The SEC has been one of the best conferences in college basketball this year, so they should have a large number of teams selected tonight. Notably, three SEC teams are currently ranked in the top five: Auburn, Alabama, and Florida.

The Auburn Tigers should receive a No. 1 seed this evening, as they ended the year with the most Quad 1 wins.

The Auburn squad has been led by their forward Johni Broome, who averages a double-double. He is also in contention to win the 2025 Naismith Men’s College Player of the Year Award.

The Alabama Crimson Tide should also secure a high seed in the NCAA Tournament, as they defeated Auburn in their final regular season game. The team reached the Final Four last season, so Alabama will try to perform similarly at this year’s tournament.
