After two weeks of competition, the 2025 NCAA Tournament heads to San Antonio for the Final Four. All four No. 1 seeds have reached the Final Four for only the second time in tournament history. The only other time it happened was in 2008. The remaining teams include Florida, Auburn, Duke, and Houston.

Two teams — Florida and Duke — have won multiple championships. Florida won back-to-back titles in 2006 and 2007. Duke has five titles, with their last coming in 2015. Meanwhile, Auburn and Houston are searching for their first championships in school history. Auburn has never reached Monday’s title game, while Houston lost consecutive championships in 1983 and 1984.

Don’t miss out on the Final Four because of streaming issues. If you plan on traveling abroad, make sure to download a VPN service to combat regional broadcast restrictions. The best VPN on the market is NordVPN, which offers a 30-day money-back guarantee. However, you’ll likely want to keep the service once you see how it protects your connection.

When Apple launched its streaming service in 2019, the entertainment world treated it with polite skepticism. Fast forward to 2026, Apple is now on the verge of securing an EGOT, the coveted sweep of Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony, after picking up its first-ever Tony Award nominations.

The tech giant earned 12 nods for Schmigadoon!, a stage adaptation of its original Apple TV musical series. With wins already under its belt for television and film, all eyes are now on the June 7 ceremony to see if Apple can complete the prestigious sweep.

5 great Netflix shows to watch on New Year’s Day and beyond
The cast of XO Kitty.

New Year’s Day is one of the easiest days to end up scrolling Netflix without actually committing to anything. The problem isn’t a lack of options, but choosing something that fits how you’re likely to watch, which usually means a show that starts quickly or keeps a steady rhythm without demanding too much attention.

Whether you’re recovering from a late night or just easing into a slower start to the year, the right show can do most of the work for you. This list narrows it down to five that are particularly effective right now, not just because they’re popular, but because they’re built for this kind of viewing. Some are structured for fast, high-retention binges, others are easier to sit with, and a couple justify a more focused watch if you’re in the mood to engage. Each one fits the kind of momentum that makes getting through a full season or a limited series feel natural, whether it’s today or any other day you want something that holds up without effort.
