Brackets, not baseball (especially this year), mark the approach of spring for millions of sports enthusiasts. For four weeks college basketball will consume our lives as we watch dramatic upsets, Cinderella stories, and nail-biting action. If following more than 60 teams over a month-long tournament wasn’t difficult enough, nearly 70% of the games are aired on cable channels, including the final game, which will be shown on TBS. ##### **Tournament Schedule** The official tipoff of the tournament starts Sunday, March 13th with the announcement of the teams, and games will be aired across four networks: CBS, TNT, and truTV.  - First Four: March 15-16 - First Round: March 17-18 - Second Round: March 19-20 - Third Round: March 24-25 - Fourth Round: March 26-27 - Final Round: April 2 - Championship Game: April 4 [Check out](https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/mml-official-bracket/ncaa-bracket-printable-march-madness-bracket-pdf) the full schedule, bracket, and all of the team matchups!    ##### **How to Watch** If you've ditched your cable provider, there are several ways you can catch all the action in high quality and with no buffering when streaming with New York’s fastest Internet service provider. The easiest and only free way to watch the games is with a good antenna that can capture your local CBS affiliate over the air. If you can’t access CBS over the air, you can always consider subscribing to [Paramount+](https://www.paramountplus.com/), which includes ViacomCBS brands. Much of the tournament will be broadcasted on three Turner Sports networks—TBS, TNT, and TruTV—as in previous years, with the flagship station hosting most of the action. [Sling TV](https://www.sling.com/) is your go-to provider for all things Turner. Sling TV offers a blue and orange package that each starts at $35 per month, or you can purchase both packages for a deal of $50 per month. Sling also offers a 7-day free trial. [DirectTV’s](https://www.directv.com/stream/)[streaming](https://www.directv.com/stream/)service offers many of the same channels as SlingTV. Its basic Entertainment package will give you more than 65 channels—including TBS, TNT, and TruTV—for $70 per month. [Hulu + Live TV](https://www.hulu.com/)  and[YouTube TV](https://tv.youtube.com/) both offer CBS, TBS, TNT, TruTV for a flat fee which means you can catch every basket!  Hulu + Live TV is $69.99/month with no hidden fees and get access to 75+ top channels. YouTube TV is available at a low cost of $54.99/month for your first 3 months. When using YouTube TV, you have access to 85+ channels of entertainment, news, live sports, & more.

If you plan on streaming on Fubo TV, you can watch the tournament on CBS. The possibilities for live sports streaming have never been better, so don’t let cutting the cord cause you to miss a minute of the tournament.
