We started with 68 teams in the NCAA Tournament bracket just a few weeks ago and, just like that, we are down to two teams and just one game left to decide the 2025 NCAA Tournament championship. It will be Houston vs. Florida in the national championship game Monday in San Antonio to determine who will be cutting down the nets to close the 2024-25 college basketball season.

It will be a classic battle of No. 1 seeds, but we were always going to get that after all four No. 1 seeds made it to the Final Four. But getting Houston vs. Florida for the championship is sure to lead to an entertaining game on Monday.

The Gators will be looking for their first title since 2007 after beating Auburn in the semifinals. The Cougars will be aiming for their first NCAA championship after an improbable comeback vs. Duke in the other semifinal.

Florida opened as a slight favorite over Houston, but it's sure to be a memorable NCAA championship game at the Alamodome.

The dates, sites and scores for every 2025 NCAA Tournament game are listed below culminating with the NCAA championship game April 7 at the Alamodome.

The road to the Final Four is a long but worthwhile journey, so be sure to check in often as CBS Sports will update this page every time the NCAA Tournament schedule is adjusted. Games will be aired across CBS, TNT, TBS and truTV and available on March Madness Live. All games airing on CBS will also be available to Paramount+ subscribers.
