For nearly 90 years, the best of the best in college basketball gets solidified every spring via the NCAA’s March Madness tournament, which whittles the 68 teams starting the tournament down to the remaining four would-be champions. Those teams face off in the legendary Final Four, which then produces the top two squads set to face off in the National Championship.<\/p>\n

This year’s big game will feature the UConn Huskies (34-5) taking on the Michigan Wolverines (36-3), who respectively beat out Illinois’ Fighting Illini and the Arizona Wildcats to reach the final contest. The game will take place inside Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN, and will begin at 8:50 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n

Basketball fans aiming to watch the final NCAA basketball game of the postseason need not stress, especially those currently in the U.S. The National Championship, much like the rest of the March Madness games, will be airing on TBS. TNT will also be a linear TV home for the game.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For those without linear TV cable or satellite plans, it’s easier than ever to stream live sports.<\/p>\n

HBO Max<\/a> is the key spot to stream NCAA domestically, as it’s the official online home for the game.<\/p>\n

Anyone without HBO Max can also stream the game via one of several streaming services bundled with live-TV plans. Hulu + Live TV<\/a> and YouTube TV<\/a> are both great platforms to use, and both come with free trials when signing up. (3 days for Hulu, and 21 days for YouTube TV.) The Sling TV Orange plan<\/a> is arguably the most impulsive, as it offers customers plans that range from monthly to a single day. So if there are any UConn or Michigan fans out there who want to watch the game inexpensively without jumping through hurdles, the $4.99 day rate for Sling might be the ticket.<\/p>\n

Anyone from the U.S. traveling internationally can utilize a VPN deal to make sure to stay current with everything coming out.<\/p>\n
