How to Pass every March Madness 2025 Game
Thehe brackets are set and the teams are on their way to their respective arenas. NCAA 2025 tournaments known to many as March madnessStart this week. The men’s tournament begins the first on March 18 with the female version on March 19th. Both will start with the first four or “game-in” matches (depending on who you ask) before providing action on the court on the first weekend in April. Different television operators have the rights to each tournament, so their streaming can be confusing. I broke the best, most affordable way to access each of them so that you are ready when the games start.
When does March Madness begin?
The NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament begins on Tuesday, March 18, with two of the so -called first four games. These are the four games that are used to determine the last four teams in the main bracket of 64 teams. For some, they are known as the Games for Games, although they have been officially part of the 2011 men’s tournament. The first game on March 18 starts at 6:40 pm with another, which follows at 9:10 pm ET. The same schedule for the second sheet of games on Wednesday, March 19 is expected.
On the part of the women, the March madness is offset by the men’s tournament with one day. The first two of the first four games are Wednesday, March 19 from 7:00 pm and 9:00 pm ET. The second pair of matches follows on Thursday, March 20, in the same two time slots.
The 64-team clamp starts seriously for men at 12:15 pm ET on Thursday, March 20. For women, the main actions begin at 11:30 am ET on Friday, March 21st. Here is the full schedule for each tournament:

How to hand over the NCAA tournament for men in 2025
Associated Press
CBS and Warner Bros. Discovery share the rights to broadcast the tournament for men and as years ago, the television cover will be distributed in four nets. During March, the madness will be broadcast on CBS, TNT, TBS and TRUTV, with the final circles and landing of the CBS championship.
If you already have a paid television plan (as a traditional cable), the best way to watch the men’s tournament is with the March Madness Live app or website. Once you enter with your television provider identification data, you can watch each game in one place with features like Multiview (up to four games at once) and “excitement warnings” that inform you when there is a close game. The app also offers ways to follow your bracket if you have filled it on Marchmadness.com. And when you look at the desktop, the key button Boss will throw a fake work screen when you need it. March Madness Live is also available in Amazon, Fire TV, Apple TV, iOS, MacOS, Google Play, LG Smart TVS, Roku and Xbox devices.
If you no longer have a compatible television provider, your best option is to actually use two services. It’s not perfect, I know, but it will save you a lot of money. The standard Max plan is $ 17/month and gives you access to live games from TNT, TBS and TRUTV. Although you can watch NCAA tournament games with the main Ads Tier, B/R Sports, which feeds the entire live cover on Max, it will only be available at standard and premium levels from March 30. Yes, Warner Bros. Discovery has determined its policy to change in the middle at the tournament to make more money. For CBS Games you will need Paramount+ with a Showtime subscription, which costs $ 13/month. So, in general, your best option to hand over the entire men’s tournament is distributed $ 30 in two applications.
A Live television service Like the YouTube TV or Hulu Plus Live TV, it is over $ 50 more per month at a full price, but they would offer you a “one -stop shop” for all the men’s tournament games. YouTube TV currently sell for $ 70/month for the first six months when you use it.
How to surrender to the NCAA Tournament for Women in 2025
Associated Press
While Warner Brothers Discovery possesses the Men’s NCAA tournament, ESPN locked the female clamp. Each women’s tournament game will be distributed in ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPNews, including the first four games. The final four will be on ESPN, but the game of the championship will come out on ABC. All three of these culmination games will be transmitted to ESPN+.
Since ESPN+ won’t get every game, this is not an option if you want to watch the entire tournament. You will be able to watch “Match Selection” both on ESPN+and Disney+, but ESPN has not announced what these will be. So, unfortunately, your best bet is live streaming service like Sling, YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV for an exhaustive experience. Sling is the cheapest avenue here, with the necessary plans for orange and sports sports costing $ 34 (SLING currently offers a discount for the first month of Orange). YouTube and Hulu live TV options are the same price of $ 83/month (YouTube TV is currently reducing to $ 70 for the first six months), so it’s a matter of which set of content and features you like best. YouTube TV offers a convenient multivator tool so you can watch up to four games at once, but Hulu+ Live TV comes with Disney+ and ESPN+ (both with ads) for that price. (Choosing Hulu+ Live TV saves you only one whole dollar a month if you don’t turn Disney+, ESPN+ and Hulu Bundling.)
If you are a more casual fan who can afford to overturn the dice of the ESPN+Select Options, you can save some money. This service costs only $ 12/month. And if you already have a television plan that includes the ESPN Family of Networks, the ESPN app is the best place to watch the tournament. The mix of scores and information, along with a mult streaming for up to four games at a time on Apple TV and Xbox, make the app well equipped with a women’s tournament pipeline.
The March Madness website only shows results and news for the women’s tournament. There are no live games on the website.
What if I want to convey both men and women tournaments?
Associated Press
If you hope to hand all the NCAA men and women tournaments, I hope you order Samsung Eight-TV packageS In terms of streaming services, just jump straight to the live option like YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV. I prefer the first because of its multi -expansion function – a tool that Hulu does not offer. At times when there are many games you want to watch, especially in the first two rounds, you will want Multiview to maintain tabs for all actions.
Is any of the games available for March Madness to be transmitted for free?
You can watch all the games broadcast on CBS on the March Madness website and mobile applications without a television provider. Of course, this is a small sample of the tournament, but it is a completely free and good option for casual fans who do not have a paid television plan that can exploit for more than the action. In addition, it is a good option to watch the first round of work if your company has not blocked streaming sites or if you can discreetly look at your phone.
There are no games for the women’s tournament for free. Unless you have an old OTA antenna school, in this case you can watch men’s CBS games and ABC women’s games without any kind of streaming plan. Of course, this is a streaming guide, so I would consider the antenna an exclusive move in 2025.
If you were hoping to use a free trial to watch March madness, I have bad news. None of them will be long enough to watch an entire tournament. Some of them do not offer them at all, but the longest is 10 -day YouTube TV, which will not translate you on the second weekend.
