How to Stream March Madness

Every spring, college basketball fans across the country tune in for one of the most exciting tournaments in sports. From buzzer beaters to Cinderella runs, March Madness delivers weeks of nonstop action. If you’ve cut the cord and switched to streaming TV, you can still catch every game. Here’s how.

Tournament games are split across four networks: CBS, TBS, TNT, and truTV. To watch the entire tournament, you’ll need a streaming service that carries all four channels.

Several live TV streaming services offer access to these channels, including:

These services let you stream games live on smart TVs, streaming devices, smartphones, tablets, or computers.

The official NCAA March Madness Live app lets fans stream tournament games on smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and streaming devices. The app includes live games, highlights, and bracket tracking throughout the tournament. Some games may be available with a preview, but full access typically requires signing in with a participating TV provider or live TV streaming service.

Max carries games that air on TNT, TBS, and truTV. This can be a convenient option for viewers who already subscribe to Max and want access to those matchups without signing up for a full live TV streaming package.

Paramount+ is another option for streaming tournament games that air on CBS. The service provides live access to your local CBS station in most areas, allowing fans to watch games without a cable subscription.

Keep in mind that Paramount+ only carries CBS broadcasts, so you would still need another service to watch games airing on TNT, TBS, or truTV.

March Madness often means multiple games happening at the same time, so a reliable internet connection is key. With GEA Connect’s fiber network, you can stream live sports, connect multiple devices, and follow every moment of the tournament without missing a play.
