Paramount+ has two tiers available: an $8/month ad-supported tier and a $13/month premium tier that's ad-free and includes live access to your local CBS channel (and access to Showtime), which you'll need to stream select March Madness games.

Right now, Paramount+ is still offering a free trial — so new subscribers could sign up to watch Selection Sunday and the First Four, plus check out the rest of the Paramount+ library free for seven days.

Hulu's live TV tier includes every channel you'll need to watch the women's NCAA tournament (and the men's!). For $82.99/month (after a three day free trial) you'll get live ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNews, ABC and access to ESPN+, plus CBS, TBS, TNT and TruTV for all the men's games too.

On top of all that live TV, you'll get access to regular Hulu which offers Hulu Originals and FX shows and Disney+.

Max, aka "the one to watch," has select live sports available through its Bleacher Report Sports add-on, which is included free of charge for ad-free Max subscribers. (If you subscribe to Max's ad-supported plan, you should be able to access the B/R add-on content until March 30).

On top of March Madness games on TBS, TNT and TruTV, Max has buzzy shows including The White Lotus, The Last of Us, House of the Dragon, Dune: Prophecy and more.

Ad-supported Max starts at $10/month. The standard plan (which includes B/R Sports free of charge) costs $17/month.

Sling doesn't offer a free trial these days, and March Madness lasts longer than your standard trial would. It's still a solid option to catch most games in the tournament. Emphasis on most, because one big blindspot for Sling is that it doesn't carry CBS — though you can still authenticate via Sling on the march Madness website to watch CBS coverage live through your phone or laptop, but not your TV.

That said, for $45 for your first month of Sling Orange + Blue and the Sports Extra add-on, you can catch all the games on TBS, TNT, TruTV, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNU, ESPNews and ABC.
