March Madness TV sales are officially live. Whether you're buying your first OLED TV or just curious what's on sale, there are numerous options for all budgets.

I've been covering March Madness TV sales for 18 years. While it's true that you can find TV deals any day of the week, retailers tend to offer slightly better deals during the NCAA tournament. Additionally, plenty of our favorite 2024 TVs are being phased out to make room for 2025's models. Combined, that makes now an excellent time to shop.

For example, Amazon has the Samsung 65-inch S85D 4K OLED TV on sale for $997. This is an epic deal because it's very rare to find a 65-inch OLED TV at this price point. In terms of broader sales, Amazon has smart TVs on sale from $74. The sale includes many smaller screens, but also some newer, larger sets from the likes of LG and TCL.

Not sure which TV is right for you? Check out our guide to the best TVs of 2025 along with our recommendations for best budget TV. Also, check out my guide to the best TV deals live now and our guide on where to watch March Madness 2025 live streams.
