How do I watch March Madness if I don’t have cable?

To watch the games broadcast on CBS or ABC, you can use an antenna to watch them over-the-air via your local CBS or ABC affiliate. If you don’t feel like doing that, or if you want to watch all the other games as well, you’ll want to subscribe to a streaming TV provider. Here are some suggestions.

Watch March Madness on Sling TV

A particularly cost-effective way to watch March Madness is via a Sling TV subscription. You’ll need Sling TV’s Orange and Blue plan, which gives you access to TBS, TNT, truTV and ESPN. However, you won’t be able to access CBS, so you’ll have to find another way to catch those games. It’s usually $60 a month, but if you sign up now, you can pay just $30 for the first month.

If you want access to all March Madness games regardless of where they are broadcast, then a subscription to Hulu plus Live TV is a good choice. It offers TBS, TNT, truTV, all the ESPN channels, as well as your local CBS and ABC affiliates. It costs $70 a month, but it includes access to both Disney+ and ESPN+, making it more of a deal. Unfortunately, Hulu plus Live TV no longer offers free trials.

Watch March Madness on YouTube TV

Another excellent choice is YouTube TV, which starts at $65 a month. It also provides access to all the March Madness channels. Plus, there’s a seven-day free trial for new subscribers so you can try it out to see if you like it before paying. You can cancel at any time.

Another option is DirecTV Stream, which offers all of the above channels. It starts at $75 a month, but if you want to get ESPNU and ESPNews, you’ll need to upgrade to the $100 per month package. Luckily, there’s a five-day free trial for new subscribers if you want to try before you buy.

Watch March Madness on FuboTV

While fuboTV is generally recommended for streaming sports, it’s not the best choice for watching March Madness, as it doesn’t offer TBS, TNT, or truTV. The Pro plan, which starts at $75 a month, offers CBS and ESPN, but that’s about it. If you want to watch ESPNews and ESPNU, it will cost an extra $10, bringing it up to $85 a month.

Watch March Madness on Paramount+

If you’re primarily interested in the Men’s NCAA Tournament and you don’t care about watching all the games, a Paramount+ subscription may be worth considering. Only the CBS games will be available on this service. That said, it is much more affordable than the other options. An ad-supported tier starts at $5 per month, while an ad-free Premium tier is priced at $10 per month. It also has a seven-day free trial for new subscribers.
