Here’s a full breakdown of all your options for watching the final March Madness game online this year:
Stream March Madness Championship Game on DirecTV Stream
If you want to watch every March Madness game online, all in one place, a live TV streaming service like DirecTV Stream is your best bet. DirecTV Stream carries TBS, TNT, and TruTV in its most affordable plan, the Entertainment package. DirecTV Stream subscriptions start with a five-day free trial, and then payment will kick in at $79.99 a month.
Stream March Madness Championship Game on Max + B/R Sports
Max will also be offering March Madness livestreams this year, but you’ll need the B/R Sports add-on to access them. This add-on normally costs an extra $9.99 a month, but Max is offering it for free right now through the end of the NCAA Tournament. If you get Max + B/R Sports and use it in tandem with Paramount+ with Showtime above, you’ll be able to stream every March Madness game.
Stream March Madness Championship Game on Hulu + Live TV
Another streaming service that you can use to watch every March Madness game online is Hulu + Live TV, which carries TBS, TNT, and TruTV in its lineup of 90+ channels. The service costs $76.99 a month (no free trial, unfortunately) and also includes subscriptions to ESPN+, Disney+, and Hulu (on-demand).
Stream March Madness Final Four Games on Sling
Sling carries TBS, TNT, and TruTV in its Blue package, making it another good option for watching (almost) every March Madness game. You won’t get games shown on CBS, but the upside is that Sling is relatively affordable: The Blue package costs just $40 a month.
Can I Stream March Madness for Free?
If you want to watch the March Madness championship game for free, we suggest taking advantage of the five-day free trial offered by DirecTV Stream. You’ll be able to watch the final game without paying, as long as you cancel the free trial before it ends. Alternatively, if you have a digital antenna like this one, you’ll be able to watch March Madness games on CBS for free.
