For the first time since 2022, the Ohio State men’s basketball team will play a game in the NCAA Basketball tournament. The eighth-seeded Buckeyes will square off against No. 9 TCU in the first game of the tournament proper. There has been a palpable energy growing around this team since it knocked off No. 8 Purcue on March 1, and I am excited to see how that translates to March Madness.
How to watch the 2026 NCAA Men’s Basketball Selection Sunday
Best Streaming Option for All March Madness Games:
YouTube TV | Up to a 21-Day Free Trial
When it comes to checking out both the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments, you are going to have a lot of options, as CBS, TNT, TBS, and truTV are carried on many live TV streaming services, not to mention Paramount’s flagship on-demand platform, Paramount+ and Warner Bros. Discovery’s HBO Max. However, whether you only want to watch Ohio State’s first-round game, or you want to check out the entire tournament, I would recommend watching with YouTube TV.
Not only does the world’s largest live TV streamer carry all of the channels airing games in both the men’s and women’s Big Dances, but it is also currently offering a three-week free trial to select users. Now, YouTube TV is known for having different trial offers for users, based on certain criteria, so when you go through the sign-up process, make sure that you are paying attention to what the offer is.
Regardless of how long your free trial ends up being, once it is over, you will be able to get your first two months for just $60 apiece. That is a total of $46 off during those two months.
And the final reason to go with YouTube TV during March Madness is the platform’s Multiview feature. Being able to watch up to four tournament games at a time is a game-changer (no pun intended)!
