How to Watch the March NCAA Frenzy From the Bar
As a North Carolina girl, the March Madness is one of the most important times of the year for me. It turns out living a few miles from the campuses of the three teams that often compete in tournaments will push you to really get into college basketball. And it is in March that this obsession reaches its climax.
March Madness officially kicks off today on Sunday Selection. Rather than announcing teams in alphabetical order, the NCAA is announcing this year’s grid matches this year, which should make the show quite interesting.
The select show officially kicks off on CBS at 6 p.m. ET, right after the Big Ten championship game (so sooner or later it could be a touch, depending on how that game goes).
The show is expected to run for an hour and will be broadcast live. If you don’t have a TV or are just going to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, you have several other options for how to watch:
CBS Full Access
Apart from free trials, this is probably the cheapest option. The service offers access to CBS live streaming for $ 6 a month or $ 10 ad-free. There is also a free weekly trial, so you can watch today’s show for free if you haven’t tried it yet. CBS Sports HQ and CBS Sports App will also be streaming Sunday’s Selection show, and Sports HQ will be streaming after the opening to help you make those big choices.
DirecTV Now, Hulu With Live TV, YouTubeTV, FuboTV, PlayStation Vue
DirecTV Now, Hulu With Live TV, YouTubeTV, and FuboTV all offer live CBS coverage in most markets, and all four offer free trials of their services, so you can watch today’s show somewhere for free if you haven’t completed all four. free trials already.
If you forget to cancel this free trial, all four will run for $ 40 per month. PlayStation Vue also offers CBS in most markets, but prices are slightly higher at $ 45 per month.
You will also want to check this “most markets” statement and make sure your location is included in the supported areas by 6:00 PM ET.
