TNT Sports Announces Expanded Cross-Platform Programming Slate for 2026 NCAA Men’s Final Four Weekend

In addition to live coverage of the NCAA Men's Final Four and National Championship games on TBS, TNT, truTV and HBO Max, TNT Sports will offer an expanded slate of programming and content across its networks and Bleacher Report & House of Highlights platforms throughout the weekend.

Ahead of coverage of the 2026 NCAA Men's Final Four on Saturday, April 4, TNT Sports will host the national broadcast premiere of Unraveling George, the critically acclaimed documentary spotlighting civil rights leader and Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame coach George Raveling (12:30 p.m. ET on TNT).

Directed by Mike Tollin (The Last Dance, Varsity Blues), executive produced by Charles Barkley and narrated by Marlon Wayans, the film traces Raveling's extraordinary journey at the intersection of basketball, business and social impact, from breaking barriers on the sidelines as one of the sport's pioneering figures, to helping shape global culture as a Nike executive, to his singular role as the steward of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic "I Have a Dream" speech.

Featuring rare archival footage and intimate interviews, Unraveling George offers a powerful, deeply personal portrait of a man whose influence extends far beyond the game, capturing a legacy defined by leadership, mentorship and lasting cultural impact.
