One of the biggest sporting events of the year is about to start soon and we have the best ways to stream the 2025 Men’s College Basketball Tournament, also known as, March Madness!
The most optimal way to stream this will be through a couple of methods.
This year, the tournament starts on Tuesday, March 18. With that said, you’ll want to watch the Selection Show which will air today, Sunday, March 16, at 6 p.m. ET on CBS and streaming live on Paramount+.
Our first method is obviously going to be through live TV streaming services such as YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo TV, and Sling TV.
However, there is a cheaper way to stream the games this year which will be great for college basketball fans.
To do this, you will have to sign up for MAX which starts at $9.99 a month for the ad-supported tier called “Basic With Ads.” Between now and March 30, all MAX plans will have the Bleacher Report (B/R) Sports add-on too.
With that, users will be able to stream all of the games that are on TBS, TNT, and TruTV via MAX.
Paramount+ will be the home for all of the games that are broadcast live on CBS. That streaming service is currently offering 30-day free trials as well. If that is not an option, Paramount+ starts at $7.99 a month.
The last option will be through the March Madness app. You will have to sign in with valid TV provider credentials, but once you are able to do so, you can have all of the games across all four networks; CBS, TBS, TNT, and TruTV, all available to stream in one app.
Additionally, through the app, users can stream multiple games at once on the same screen. The app has support for radio broadcasts on CarPlay too.
None of the games this year have been announced or said to be broadcast in 4K and will be broadcast in 1080p HD.
