The NCAA announced on March 12th that in light of COVID-19 concerns, it’s canceling all March Madness 2020 events, as well as all remaining winter and spring championship games. This marks the first time in 82 years that games will not take place. Get the latest from the NCAA.
March Madness is upon us to close out the NCAA men’s college basketball season. To keep up with every game, you’ll need a few TV channels: TBS, TNT, TruTV and CBS. And keep your cable to watch the chaos with the March Madness Live app.
The 2020 March Madness bracket will be released on March 15, games begin a couple days later, and April 6 is the National Championship that ends it all.

With more than 65 channels, a Hulu + Live TV subscription includes TNT, TBS, TruTV and CBS: the March Madness holy grail. Unlike Sling TV and FuboTV, a Hulu + Live TV plan gives you access to both live and on-demand content.

Enjoy a 7-day free trial, streaming from as many as 2 devices at the same time.
A Sling TV Blue subscription gives you access to most of the channels you need to watch March Madness. To add local channels like CBS, ask for a free antenna from Sling TV.
In addition to a 3-day free trial, Sling TV sweetens the pot with $10 off your first month. Compatible with various mobile, desktop and streaming devices, watch a slew of other popular channels once the madness is over.
If you can’t access CBS with Sling TV, Hulu + Live TV or FuboTV, each streaming platform explains other ways to watch:
| Sling TV | If you don’t want to set up an antenna, watch CBS broadcasted games with the March Madness Live app while you use Sling TV to watch TNT, TruTV and TBS broadcasted games. |
| FuboTV | Use your FuboTV login information to access the TV Everywhere app provided by CBS for CBS or CBS Sports. |
| Hulu + Live TV | Use your Hulu + Live TV login information to access the March Madness Live app, with access to every game rather than those broadcasted from CBS. |
With a working device and a strong Internet connection, streaming March Madness is within reach. Hulu + Live TV offers a few features that cater to the NCAA superfan, but Sling TV is the least expensive option. While any one of these streaming services works, consider what you’re looking for in a streaming service.
