NCAA Championship 2023: How to Livestream UConn vs. San Diego State Tonight

Connecticut and San Diego State are the final two teams left in the March Madness tournament, and one will be crowned champion of men’s college basketball tonight.

No. 5 seed San Diego State knocked off No. 9 Florida Atlanta at the buzzer, and No. 4 UConn cruised by No. 5 Miami in the semifinals on Saturday to set up tonight’s national championship matchup between the Aztecs and Huskies. UConn has looked dominant all tournament, winning each of its games by double digits. Perhaps SDSU, in its first title game, has the defense to slow down the talented Huskies, who are led by Adama Sanogo in the middle and the stellar shooting of Jordan Hawkins.

UConn and San Diego State tip off tonight at Houston’s NRG Stadium at 9:20 p.m. ET (6:20 p.m. PT) on CBS and Paramount Plus. Here’s everything you need to know to watch and livestream the national championship game on Monday night.

Which channel is broadcasting the national championship?

The national championship game will air on CBS and stream on Paramount Plus.

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.
