How to watch March Madness 2024 in the US
CBS is the flagship home of the men's March Madness tournament, though, just like in recent years, TBS, TNT and TruTV are airing games throughout the tournament.
CBS is available to anyone with a basic cable TV subscription or a TV antenna, but the network is also available on live TV streaming services, including Fubo, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV. Games that air on CBS can also be streamed live on Paramount Plus.
TBS, TNT and TruTV are cable channels, also carried by most pay-TV providers, but also by Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV streaming services.
This year, TBS is going to air the Final Four and championship games for the men's bracket.
The women's March Madness tournament, meanwhile, has a broadcast home on ESPN and its subsidiary channels. ESPN is another cable channel available on most pay-TV services, including the quartet of FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV.
Though one of the best bang for your buck deals to watch all of March Madness is Sling TV. For as low as $20 per month you can sign up for Sling TV Blue and watch all of the March tournament action that airs on TruTV, TBS, TNT and ESPN.
You can also watch multiple games at once on your computer via NCAA.com for the men’s and ESPN.com for the women's, but you need to have a subscription to one of the above services.
