March Madness has a new anthem for 2026 and it's going to sound a lot more country.  The official CBS/TNT anthem for the 2026 NCAA Tournament is set, as the Zac Brown Band has lent “Give It Away” to the 68-team event coverage.  The action starts next month and culminates with the Final Four on April 4-6 in Indianapolis. The song will be played before every tip-off . . .

"Give It Away" by Zac Brown Band will be this year's anthem for March Madness coverage on CBS/TNT.
