In these tournaments, the lowest-seeded college basketball teams battle for the "privilege" of facing the top seed. But, remember, the University of Maryland Baltimore Country (UMBC) upset Virginia in the 2018 tournament. It can happen! 

March Madness basics

  • March Madness began on March 14 with the men's First Four on truTV and the women's First Four on ESPNU and ESPN2. 
  • CBS, TNT, TBS, and truTV will air the men's tournament. You'll find the women's tournament on the ESPN networks.
  • You can watch a few of the games OTA. But, to really follow the games, you'll need satellite, cable, or streaming TV. 
  • If you follow several teams, you'll also need DVR services since it's a sure thing that two or more of your teams will be playing at the same time.

All your streaming options 

Paramount+

CNET

With Paramount+, you can watch some, but not all, of March Madness. Only the CBS games are available on this streaming service.

Paramount+, formerly CBS All Access, offers two plans. The first is an ad-supported Essential plan for$5 per month and an ad-free Premium plan for$10 per month. You can't, however, see the men's games on TBS, TNT, or truTV, or any of the women's games on it. Still, if you like CBS shows, and for some reason, you can't get CBS on your main streaming services, or you're a serious Star Trek fan, it's worth the money.

One thing you should know going in is that Paramount Plus doesn't have a cloud DVR service. You'll need to watch the games in real time.

Hulu with Live TV

Hulu with Live TV's combination of on-demand video and live TV is nice, and it also comes with Disney+ and ESPN+ bundled. For$83 a month, you'll get your local CBS channel, TBS, TNT, and truTV. With the ESPN+ bundle, you can get all of the 2023 March Madness games.

DirecTV Stream

DIRECTV

DirecTV Stream has gone through a number of name changes. In the past, it's been AT&T TV, AT&T TV Now, and DirecTV Now. Whatever you call it, you'll get CBS, TBS, TNT, and truTV on even its cheapest level, the$75 Entertainment package.

For the women's games, this package includes ESPN and ESPN2. But, if your favorite team isn't one of the top teams, its games may be on ESPNU or ESPNews. To get those, you'll need to upgrade to the$100 DirecTV Stream Choice package.

On the plus side, DirecTV Stream now comes with generous unlimited Cloud DVR storage. At home, you can watch the game, or any other show, on up to two streaming devices at once. Away from home, you can share your stream with three other devices.
