College Basketball on TNT Sports is the de facto title of college basketball coverage produced by TNT Sports for TNT, TBS, and TruTV.
TBS initially broadcast two regular-season games in the early-1980s as part of syndication arrangements with the Lorimar Sports Network. In 2010, Turner Sports and CBS Sports partnered on an agreement—since extended through 2032—to acquire the rights to the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, with the two broadcasters co-producing coverage across CBS and the Turner networks. Outside of the NCAA tournament, TNT Sports' regular-season coverage had largely been limited to neutral-site showcase events such as the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic, and later the Acrisure Series and Players Era Festival, and various one-off broadcasts on NBA TV highlighting HBCUs.
In the mid-2020s, TNT Sports began to acquire regular-season conference packages for the first time, beginning with a share of rights to the Big East Conference, and a package of Big 12 Conference games sublicensed from ESPN.
