The men’s NCAA basketball tournament will begin on Tuesday, March 18 with two of the first four matches. These are the four games used to determine the last four teams in the bracket of central 64 teams.

The first game on March 18 starts at 6:40 pm ET and with another at 9am and 10 minutes ET. The same schedule is expected for the second slate of the game on Wednesday, March 19.

How to stream up 2025 men’s NCAA tournament
Associated Press
CBS and Warner Bruce Discovery share the broadcast rights in the men’s tournament, and as they have TV coverage in the past years, they will spread to four networks. During the madness of March, the game will be broadcast on CBS, TNT, TBS and Trot V, the final round and the championship game will be broadcast on the CBS.
If you already have a Pad TV plan (such as a traditional cable), a good way to watch the men’s tournament is with the March madness live app or website. Although there is a big catch: CBS Games are not available in the app. This means that this is really a good option through Elite Eight. Once you log in with the credentials of your TV provider, you can see the game with features such as a multi -View (up to four games at four games) on other networks, which shows you when you know that when the nearest game and a fast break stream are available at all.
If you fill it at March Madis.com, the app also offers ways to follow your bracket. And when you are looking at the desktop, the boss’s main button will throw fake work screen when you need it. The March madness is also available on live Amazon, Fire TV, Apple TV, iOS, Macos, Google Play, LG Smart TV, Roko and Xbox Devices.
Your cheapest option to watch each game is to actually use two services. I know, this is not ideal, but it will save you a lot of money. Max’s basic plan is $ 10/a month and provides you with direct sports with three games multi -view from TNT, TBS and Trutv. B/R Sports, which strengthens all direct coverage on Max, will only be available at the prerequisite standard and premium levels starting March 30. After this date, the game will only be broadcast on the CBS. CBS Games L’OL, You will need a paramount+ that has a show -time subscription that costs $ 13/month. Therefore, overall, your best option to stream all men’s tournaments is $ 23 in two apps.
Direct TV service, such as YouTube TV or Holoco Plus, is more than $ 50 per month at full cost, but they will offer you “One Stop Shopping” for all sports in the men’s tournament. YouTube TV is currently on sale for the first six months for the first six months you use it.
How to stream up 2025 women’s NCAA tournament
Associated Press
While Warner Brothers owns Discovery Men’s NCAA tournament rights, ESPN has shut down women’s brackets. Each game of the women’s tournament will spread to ABC, ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPNU and ESP News, which includes the first four matches. The final will be on the ESPN, but the Championship Game will be broadcast on ABC. All three of these three games will continue on espn+.
Since Espn+ will not get every game, it is not an option if you want to see the entire tournament. You will be able to see the “selected match -up” on both ESPN+ and Disney+, but ESPN has not announced what they will be. Therefore, unfortunately, your best bet is direct TV streaming service like sling, YouTube TV or Holo + direct TV for a comprehensive experience. Sling here is the cheapest Avenue, which costs $ 34 in the required orange and sports projects (currently offering sling discounts in the first month of Orange). YouTube and Holo Live TV options are the same price in both $ 83/month (YouTube TV currently exempt $ 70 for the first six months), so this is the case which content and features do you like. YouTube TV offers an easy multi -view tool so you can watch four games at the same time, but the Hollo+ direct TV comes with Disney+ and ESPN+ (with both ads) for this cost. –
If you are more comfortable fans who can afford to roll the dice on the “selected” options on Espn+, you can save some money. The cost of this service is only $ 12/month. And if you already have a TV plan that includes the ESPN Family of Networks, the ESPN app is the best place to watch the tournament. Apple TV and Xbox make up a mix of scores and information, with multi -View streaming up to four games at a time, make the app well -equipped for women’s tournament.
The March madness website only shows scores and news for the women’s tournament. No live games are available on the website.
What if I want to stream both men and women’s tournaments?
Associated Press
If you are hoping to stream both men and women’s NCAA tournament, I hope you have ordered Samsung’s eight TV bundle. In terms of streaming services, just go directly to TV options such as YouTube TV or Holo + Direct TV. I prefer the former because of its multi -View feature – a device that does not offer Holo. At times, when there are numerous games you want to see, especially during the first two rounds, you will want a multi -view to keep the tabs on all operations.
Is any of the march madness available to stream for free?
You can see all sports broadcast on CBS on the March madness website and mobile apps without a TV provider. Certainly, this is a small sample of the tournament, but it is completely free and is a good option for casual fans who do not have a paid TV plan that they can exploit for maximum action. This is also a good option to watch the first round at work, if your company has not blocked streaming sites, or if you can carefully see on your phone.
For the women’s tournament, no game is available for free. Unless you have an old school Ottana antenna, in this case you can see CBS on CBS and women’s sports on ABC without any streaming plan. Of course, this is a streaming guide so I will consider an unusual move to the antenna in 2025.
If you were hoping to use a free trial period to watch the march madness, I got bad news. None of them will be long enough to watch the entire tournament. Some of them do not offer them at all, but in the longest 10 days you have YouTube TV that you won’t find the second weekend.
Update, March 20, 2025 12:19 pm et: This guide has been updated to clarify sports available on March Madness Live and update the availability of games and prices for maximum.
