How to watch March Madness basketball games in 2025:
Games will air across CBS, TBS, TNT and TruTV. The women’s NCAA tournament will air across the ESPN suite — so ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNU and ESPNews.
Don’t have cable? Don’t worry. You can stream the men’s games easily with a subscription to Paramount+ and Max, or a live TV streaming service like DirecTV, Fubo or Sling. The women’s games will also be accessible via a live TV streaming service that includes the ESPN suite.
Every way to watch NCAA March Madness games this season:
Max, aka “the one to watch,” has select live sports available through its Bleacher Report Sports add-on, which is included free of charge for ad-free Max subscribers. (If you subscribe to Max’s ad-supported plan, you should be able to access the B/R add-on content until March 30).
On top of March Madness games on TBS, TNT and TruTV, Max has buzzy shows including The White Lotus, The Last of Us, House of the Dragon, Dune: Prophecy and more.
Ad-supported Max starts at $10/month. The standard plan (which includes B/R Sports free of charge) costs $17/month.
Sling doesn’t offer a free trial these days, and March Madness lasts longer than your standard trial would. It’s still a solid option to catch most games in the tournament. Emphasis on most, because one big blindspot for Sling is that it doesn’t carry CBS — though you can still authenticate via Sling on the march Madness website to watch CBS coverage live through your phone or laptop, but not your TV.
That said, for $45 for your first month of Sling Orange + Blue and the Sports Extra add-on, you can catch all the games on TBS, TNT, TruTV, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNU, ESPNews and ABC.
Paramount+ has two tiers available: an $8/month ad-supported tier and a $13/month premium tier that’s ad-free and includes live access to your local CBS channel (and access to Showtime), which you’ll need to stream select March Madness games.
Right now, Paramount+ is still offering a free trial — so new subscribers could sign up to watch Selection Sunday and the First Four, plus check out the rest of the Paramount+ library free for seven days.

Steph Curry, from ‘a galaxy nobody can touch,’ lifts Warriors with stellar Game 3
SAN FRANCISCO — Locating the reverence for Steph Curry in the Golden State Warriors’ locker room is typically a challenge. What he does on the court — his thing that so captivates viewers, churns the social media machine, and ignites the imagination of hoopers across the globe — is undeniably normal to them. Who he is, the person and teammate, is so familiar to them. Awe is often absent when they discuss his feats. Their cliche replies, their matter-of-factness, mock the idea of novelty in Curry’s brilliance.AdvertisementThey don’t mean it as disrespect. Instead, it’s a declaration of his reliability. They’re so exposed to his greatness, so conditioned by its consistency, their default disposition is yeah, we know.“Whatever I’ve said the last 11 years after every one of these games,” head coach Steve Kerr said, “just copy and paste.’But then a […]

Liverpool scenarios: How Reds can win the Premier League title vs. Tottenham on Sunday
Getty Images Liverpool's commanding lead atop the Premier League table means that the Reds are inching closer and closer to their first title since the 2019-20 season, and that the day they officially win that trophy is right around the corner.As things stand, Liverpool have a 12-point lead on second-place Arsenal with five games to go, which makes it very unlikely that they will not end this season as England's champions. They could officially clinch the title as soon as this weekend, a signal title race is still very much in Liverpool's hands, and they will be able to win it outright when they return to play on Sunday.The Reds' impressive lead comes five years after their last Premier League title, which was the only time they won the accolade, coming during Jurgen Klopp's storied eight-year spell as the manager.
