If you're a wire cutter, you may have to get a bit craftier in order to access individual NCAA Tournament games. You'll likely be able to tune into CBS - which will host 21 of the 67 games - with a digital antenna. The cheapest way to access the games broadcast on any of the Turner networks, however, is to sign up for a free trial of a live TV streaming service. DirecTV Now, fuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV all offer seven-day free trials, while PlayStation Vue offers a five-day preview at no cost. Depending on where you live, CBS could also be included with these trials, so this may be the best option for those without cable.

Outside of cable and streaming, your best bet may be to find a local sports bar and camp out for a few weeks.Here's the NCAA tournament schedule and channel guide:Advertisement
