NCAA March Madness has reached it’s final week. At the men’s tournament, the No. 1 seed Florida Gators were knocked out of the competition by No. 9 Iowa, which means they won’t be snagging a second consecutive championship title this year. No. 1 seed Duke also fell to No. 2 UConn during their Elite Eight game, where UConn’s Braylon Mullins hit a history-making three-point buzzer-beater to win the game. That means the teams headed to the Final Four are Illinois, Duke, Michigan and Arizona. In the women’s tournament, defending champion and No. 1 seed UConn is still in it to win it, and the entire Final Four consists of No. 1 seeds: Texas, South Carolina and UCLA round out the remaining teams.
The men’s Final Four begins Saturday, and games will be spread across TNT, TBS and TruTV. It will stream on HBO Max. The women’s Final Four games are Friday, airing on ESPN and streaming on ESPN Unlimited.
Here’s a breakdown of every team that’s playing, how to watch the Final Four and everything else you need to know.
March Madness 2026 began on March 17. The women’s Final Four games are on April 3, and the championship final is scheduled for Sunday, April 5. The men’s Final Four games are April 4 and the championship game is on Monday, April 6.

Don’t want to subscribe to multiple streaming services to watch March Madness? That’s understandable. There are a few live TV streaming services where you can watch most or all of the men’s and women’s tournaments all in one place. Each of them offers a free trial.
The men’s games will be on CBS, TBS, TNT and TruTV, and women’s games will be carried across ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPNews. With a subscription to DirecTV, Hulu Plus Live TV or YouTube TV, you can watch every channel that’s broadcasting the men’s and women’s tournaments.
We’ll note that Fubo offers major sporting events and even includes access to ESPN Unlimited. It doesn’t carry TBS, TNT or TruTV, making it a less ideal option for watching the men’s tournament.

Not every local channel is available in every market, so you’ll need to make sure the networks broadcasting the 2026 tournament are offered in your area. Plug in your ZIP code on its welcome page to see which local networks you get.
