How to stream March Madness 2019 live
Because of the sheer number of games, March Madness is broadcast across four different channels: TBS, TruTV, CBS, and TNT. So in order to stream March Madness 2019, you’ll need some sort of access to each of these channels.
The NCAA March Madness app for iOS and Apple TV is by far the easiest way to stream the games this year. You’ll get three hours of free streaming, but after that you’ll need some sort of cable provider login to continue watching.
Thankfully, nowadays it’s very easy to obtain a cable login and access to the necessary channels with an over-the-top streaming service. FuboTV specializes in sports streaming and makes it incredibly easy to stream March Madness. One thing you’ll need to do, however, is make sure your local CBS affiliate is supported by looking at this list.
PlayStation Vue is another popular option and recently gained support for multi-view streaming on Apple TV. This means you can watch up to four games at once, ensuring you won’t miss any of the action.
- Sling TV – Free 7-day trial
- FuboTV – Free 7-day trial
- DirecTV Now – Free 7-day trial
- YouTube TV – Free 7-day trial
- Hulu with Live TV – Free 30-day trial

If you’re just interested in watching the Final Four and National Championship, all of those games will be broadcast on CBS. Therefore, there’s no need to worry about also having access to TNT, TBS, and truTV.
