Where to watch March Madness 2023 live online

Because the broadcasting rights for March Madness are spread across many different channels, if you want to watch every game, you need a comprehensive service that includes all of them. Sling TV Orange, YouTube TV, and Hulu+Live TV are the top cord-cutting services, and all come with a free trial.

This is how each service breaks down in terms of the channels offered:

Sling TV Orange

Sling TV is a good all-around option for college basketball live streams as it will carry all games of NCAA basketball except those on CBS (though you can get Paramount Plus as an add-on), and is significantly cheaper than other cord-cutting options.

DirecTV Stream

DirecTV Stream is on the pricier side but if you prefer a cord-cutting service over an additional streaming app, it’s a great option as the “Choice” package 70 USD/month and up includes college networks from the ACC, Big 10, and SEC. DirecTV offers a 5-day free trial.

Hulu

 

With Hulu+Live TV you’ll be able to live stream just about every NCAA hoops game. Note that you may need a U.S. credit card and ZIP code (e.g., 90210 or 10011) to subscribe. Please note that Hulu does not offer a free trial, it may cost 65 USD/month.

YouTube TV

Like Hulu, YouTube TV carries every major network that airs NCAA basketball games, and it offers a 14-day free trial after that it will cost 65 USD/month. One extra thing YouTube has going for it is that it’s possible to subscribe to YouTube TV via Google Play, even if you don’t have a U.S. credit/debit card.
