How to Watch March Madness Without Cable

Check out the best streaming options to watch the men’s and women’s college basketball tournaments without cable. Get game schedules and streaming details.

Hoops fans have some huge March Madness games to look forward to this weekend for the men’s NCAA tournament and the women’s tournament. If you are wondering how to watch all of the Elite Eight games today and tomorrow and the Final Four and national championship games next week, you’ve come to the right place.

We’ve done the work for you and figured out the best ways to watch or stream March Madness. You don’t need a cable or satellite TV subscription to watch either tournament.

How to watch March Madness

For the men’s tournament, you need only two apps for $23. Between Paramount Plus and Max, you can stream every game live. Paramount Plus will show every game broadcast on CBS, and Max has the games shown on TBS.

For the women’s tournament, you will need a live TV streaming service to watch every game on ABC and ESPN.

Three of the five major live TV streaming services offer all four channels needed to watch the rest of the men’s and women’s tournaments.

For more, check out our live TV streaming services guide and our recommendations for the best sports streaming services.

A cheaper streaming option than a live TV streaming service is available for watching the men’s tournament. The $13-a-month Paramount Plus with Showtime plan will get you the men’s tournament games broadcast on CBS, and Max’s $10-a-month Basic with Ads plan will show the men’s games on TBS.

How to watch the March Madness tournament 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 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.

You can also use an indoor antenna hooked up to your TV to watch the men’s games on CBS and the women’s games on ABC. Quality antennas cost as little as $20. See our comparison of indoor antennas here.
