Hoops fans have some huge March Madness games to look forward to this weekend in the men's NCAA tournament and the women's tournament. If you're wondering how to watch all of the Final Four games today and tomorrow, and the national championship games to follow, you've come to the right place.
We've done the work for you and figured out the best ways to watch or stream the rest of March Madness. You don't need a cable or satellite TV subscription to watch either tournament.
The NCAA men's and women's college basketball tournaments continue this weekend.
How to watch March Madness
For the rest of the men's March Madness, you need only one streaming service. With the $13-a-month Paramount Plus with Showtime plan, you'll be able to watch the final three games of the men's tournament.
For the women's tournament, you can watch the final three games with ESPN Plus for $12 a month.
You'll need the $13 a month Paramount Plus with Showtime plan to livestream the men's March Madness games broadcast on CBS.
ESPN's stand-alone streaming service costs $12 a month and will show the final three games of the tournament: both semifinal games for today's Final Four and the championship game on Sunday.
Watch March Madness with a live TV streaming service
You can also use a live TV streaming service to watch the men's and women's Final Four and national championship games. The men's games will be on CBS, and women's games will be on ESPN. Four of the five major live TV streaming services offer all four channels needed to watch the rest of the men's and women's tournaments.
YouTube TV costs $83 a month and includes CBS for the men's tournament and ESPN for the women's tournament. Right now, the first two months are discounted to $60 a month, and there is a free, 21-day trial.
Not every local channel is available in every market, so you'll need to make sure CBS is offered in your area. Plug in your ZIP code on its welcome page to see which local networks you get.
Hulu with Live TV costs the same per month as YouTube TV and features both channels you need to watch the rest of both March Madness tournaments. On its live news page, you can enter your ZIP code under the "Can I watch local news in my area?" question at the bottom of the page to see which local channels you get.
Fubo's Pro plan costs $85 a month and includes CBS and ESPN. Fubo is currently offering the first month for $55. Click here to see which local channels you get. Read our Fubo review.

How to watch the March Madness tournament free
Go to the NCAA's March Madness Live site or use its March Madness Live app and you'll be able to watch games free. You can watch March Madness Live on iOS and Android devices along with Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV and Xbox. The app also supports AirPlay and Chromecast. As with most things that are free, there's a catch. Without proving you're a pay TV subscriber, you get only a three-hour preview, after which point you'll need to log in to continue watching.
You can also use an indoor antenna hooked up to your TV to watch the men's games on CBS and the women's final on ABC. Quality antennas cost as little as $20. See our comparison of indoor antennas here.
The easiest way to watch the Final Four and national championship for both the men's and women's tournaments, however, is to sign up for YouTube TV's 21-day free trial. That will easily last you through the end of both March Madness tournaments.
