Memorial Day weekend is upon us, which means one of the best sports weekends of the year is here.

Unfortunately, this year might not be as loaded with NBA and NHL action as others because of how quickly some conference finals series wrapped up, but there is still plenty from the worlds of baseball, racing, golf, and much more. 

Headlined by the Indy 500 on Sunday, the weekend will require sports fans to shift between a few different channels. MLB games will take over four different channels, while the college softball super regionals will determine this year's Women's College World Series teams.

Here's a look at the sports schedule for the weekend, including times and TV channels.
