March Madness is finally upon us.

And with it comes all the buzzer-beaters, Cinderella stories, bracket-busters and shining moments we can handle, all crammed into a glorious three-week period.

But first things first. We already know a good number of the NCAA men's and women's Division I basketball teams that will take part in the single-elimination championship tournaments (more on those teams below).

But which other schools will make the cut for each 68-team tournament? Who got snubbed? Who will be the top seeds in each regional? Where will the rest of the teams end up in each bracket? Who has the easiest path to the championship?

All of that will be answered on March 16, a.k.a. Selection Sunday. Here's everything you need to know.

How can I watch the men's and women's selection shows?

The NCAA men's basketball tournament bracket will be revealed Sunday at 3 p.m. PDT on CBS and streaming on the NCAA March Madness Live site and Paramount+. The show will be hosted by Adam Zucker with analysis provided by Clark Kellogg, Jay Wright and Seth Davis. They will be joined by NCAA Division I men's basketball committee chair Bubba Cunningham to discuss the selections.

The NCAA women's basketball tournament bracket will be unveiled Sunday at 5 p.m. on ESPN and streaming on the ESPN app.
