March Madness 2023: How to Watch and Stream the Women’s Final Four
The women’s college basketball tournament resumes Friday from Dallas on ESPN.
Can anyone beat South Carolina? After four rounds of the women’s NCAA basketball tournament, that’s still the question. Led by the imposing Aliyah Boston, the reigning Naismith Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, South Carolina is the defending champion and has yet to lose a game this year. Iowa and the sensational Caitlin Clark are up next for the Gamecocks. The other Final Four matchup pits No. 1 Virginia Tech against No. 3 LSU.
Both Final Four games will be played on Friday in Dallas. Virginia Tech and LSU are up first, tipping off at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT), followed by the prime-time matchup of South Carolina and Iowa at 9 p.m. ET (6 p.m. PT). Both games will be shown on ESPN and ESPN Plus.
Here’s everything you need to know to watch the women’s Final Four and national championship game on Sunday without cable (and here’s how to watch the men’s tournament).

Can I stream March Madness for free?
Go to the NCAA’s March Madness Live site or use its March Madness Live app and you’ll be able to watch games for free. You can watch March Madness Live on iOS and Android devices along with Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV and Xbox. The app also supports AirPlay and Chromecast.
As with most things that are free, there’s a catch. Without proving you’re a pay-TV subscriber, you get only a three-hour preview, after which point you’ll need to log in to continue watching.
What are my other streaming options?
