The Best Streaming Services for College Basketball

Thanks to a deal closed by Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery, you can only watch NCAA men’s basketball games on CBS and Turner channels TBS, TNT, and TruTV. That means among on-demand services, your best bets at watching March Madness live are Paramount+ and Max (with the B/R add-on). You can also choose among live TV streaming services that carry the channels above—that’s most major providers including Sling (for the budget-conscious), DirecTV Stream (for those with money to spare), and Hulu with Live TV (for those looking to stream lower-tier college basketball matches on ESPN+, which comes with the package). Notably, Fubo does not carry any of the Turner channels, but it’s an otherwise great option for other kinds of games, including NBA matches. Meanwhile, women’s college basketball games are often available on ESPN and ABC, so you’ll want to look at streaming services that carry those channels. Below, we list the best streaming services for watching college basketball.
