March Madness is officially here. The 2021 NCAA Tournament comes to life during the Selection Sunday show, but before they figure out the field – and before you bust out your (sure-to-win-the-office-pool this year, right?) bracket – you must first figure out who the heck you’re making picks on this year.

Such is why the hubbub is made each year about Selection Sunday, the day (which, you guessed it, falls on a Sunday) in which the field of 68 teams is unveiled. The 2021 NCAA March Madness Selection Show is at 6 p.m. ET Sunday. Here is information on how you can tune in via streaming or cable.
