The Sweet Sixteen games kick off on Thursday evening, and fans who aren’t near a TV won’t have to miss out on all the action. It starts with the No. 7 seed, Michigan, taking on the No. 3 seed, Oregon, on TBS, followed by seed No. 4 West Virginia vs. seed No. 1 Gonzaga.

The 24 games that CBS is televising, which include the West Virginia-Gonzaga game, will be streamed live across its online platforms, including CBSSports.com. However, for the March Madness games airing on Turner’s TBS, TNT, and truTV, potential viewers will need credentials to log in with a participating pay-TV provider to catch the action online.
