The madness continues tonight and Friday as the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament moves into the Sweet 16 round.
Four games will be played Thursday (March 28) and four more on Friday (March 29), which will reduce the field to eight teams come Saturday morning.
The 2024 NCAA tournament will be broadcast on CBS, TBS, TNT, or truTV, so cord-cutting fans have plenty of options to choose from to get their March fix.
HOW TO WATCH: Fans can watch most March Madness games via a free trial to fuboTV or DirecTV Stream. Fans can also watch via SlingTV’s Blue Package, which is offering 50% off for the first month.

Here are the top three March Madness 2024 streaming options
1. DirecTV Stream (FREE TRIAL)
DirecTV Stream is the premier option for college hoops this month since it carries every channel. Fans can try it for free using this link.
2. SlingTV
Price wise, SlingTV offers the best value for college basketball fanatics. SlingTV’s Blue Package ($22.50 per month) carries TBS, TNT and truTV, so fans can watch most of the tournament at a great price. It does not carry CBS, so fans may want to get a free trial to DirecTV Stream or fuboTV to watch the Final Four/National Championship games.
fuboTV is limited in its college basketball offerings (it does not carry TBS, TNT or truTV), but it does have CBS – which means that fans can pair its free trial with SlingTV’s cheap price to get the complete streaming package. fuboTV is $74.99 per month without the trial.
