March Madness channel:

Men’s Sweet 16 games will air across a mix of CBS, TBS and TruTV.

Games for the men’s NCAA March Madness tournament will air live across a combination of CBS, TBS, TNT and truTV. In the past, that combo has been hard to come by with just one, two or even three streaming services. But this year watching March Madness should be whole lot less … maddening. Many people have access to CBS already free over the air. But if you don’t currently get live local channels like CBS on your TV, we recommend looking into an old school TV antenna, or signing up for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, which includes access to live CBS coverage.

For the other channels, HBO’s Max is currently still offering its sports add-on (B/R Sports) free for subscribers of any Max tier. So for $9.99/month $5.83/month thanks to a sale, you can catch live March Madness games airing on TNT, TBS and TruTV.

If you only want to add one subscription to your arsenal, some live TV streaming services offer all the channels you’ll need to keep up with March Madness, like Sling, DirecTV and YouTube TV.

How to watch March Madness without cable:

(Max)

Max has been “the one to watch” for entertainment fans for quite some time, but now, it’s drawing sports fans in, too. For a limited time, Max subscribers can get the new B/R Sports add-on totally free. That includes live March Madness games on TBS, TNT, and truTV.

Right now, you can also save over 40% on Max when you pay for the entire year up front, cutting down the monthly price of $9.99 to $5.83/month.

For streaming March Madness, you’ll need the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME tier for $12. The subscription is ad-free and includes live access to your local CBS channel.  

In addition to sporting events like March Madness, Premier League and Champions League games, Paramount+ offers a host of other hit shows, new and classic movies and live sporting events.
