Tournament procedure[edit]

Further information: NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship § Tournament format

A total of 68 teams will enter the 2019 tournament. 32 automatic bids shall be awarded to each program that wins their conference's tournament. The remaining 36 bids are "at-large", with selections extended by the NCAA Selection Committee.

Eight teams (the four lowest-seeded automatic qualifiers and the four lowest-seeded at-large teams) will play in the First Four (the successor to what had been popularly known as "play-in games" through the 2010 tournament). The winners of these games advance to the main draw of the tournament.

The Selection Committee also seeded the entire field from 1 to 68.

The selection process was completed on Sunday, March 17.

Media coverage[edit]

Television[edit]

CBS and WarnerMedia (via TBS, TNT, and truTV) have U.S. television rights to the tournament.^[8] As part of a cycle beginning in 2016, CBS holds the rights to the Final Four and to the championship game.

In response to criticism over TBS's handling of the selection show in 2018 (which featured an unconventional two-hour format where all the qualifying teams were first revealed in alphabetical order before the matchups were actually unveiled, and had viewership fall by 52% partly due to it also being aired on cable rather than CBS), it was announced that CBS's selection show would revert back to an hour-long format, and prioritize unveiling the bracket. CNN president Jeff Zucker, who had also become head of WarnerMedia's sports properties after a reorganization, explained that "it's a sign of understanding when things don't necessarily go as well as you would hope you change it. So there's no shame in that. At the end of the day, you have to give the fans what they want."^[9] The show attracted its highest viewership since 2014, averaging a 4.0 share on Nielsen overnight ratings.^[10]
