Here’s How to Stream Men's March Madness for Less

Someone's hand holding a remote, with sneakered feet up and streaming TV in background.

The field of 68 is down to two, featuring a pair of number one seeds. The Florida Gators face the Houston Cougars in the national championship game on April 7.

If you want to stream the game live, our guide helps you find out how to do it and save.

What time is the NCAA championship game?

The NCAA men's national championship game tips off at 8:50 p.m. EST. The game airs on CBS, so you'll have several different options to watch it, such as:

Stream the national championship game on Paramount Plus

Paramount Plus offers live CBS content on its platform, without the costs associated with a live TV service.

There are two packages for Paramount Plus: The Paramount Plus Essentials Plan runs $7.99 while the Paramount Plus with Showtime option is $12.99 per month.

If you're a new subscriber, you can try the service for free for a week, giving you a way to stream the national championship game for free.

Use free trials to stream the national championship game

Many streaming services offer you a chance to try their platform for free to see if it's to your liking. YouTube TV is among the best streaming platforms for sports fans.

I have used it for the past three years and never experienced an issue viewing men's March Madness action. It features every channel you need and with their multi-view, you can watch multiple games at once.

It's akin to bringing the sports bar experience to your living room. Best of all, if you're new, you can try the service for free for 10 days.

Another option is Hulu + Live TV. Similar to YouTube TV, Hulu's live TV platform offers local channels like CBS, so you can stream the national championship game for free.

And if you're new, you can try it free for three days:

The bottom line

The national championship game tips off tonight. If you're looking to stream it for less, we provided several options.

And in the case of live-streaming services, many of them offer free trials, where you can stream a weekend to a week of action for free before committing to another streaming service.
