Where to Watch

NCAA.com 
The NCAA website will air the games on their website. Heading over to NCAA.com is going to be the easiest way to stream the game live and online this year. 

NCAA March Madness Live App
This one should be the go-to app, and it's on both iTunes and Google Play. You can stream every game live on the app, although you might need a TV service provider log-in for some. 

CBS Sports App
CBS Sports won't air every game via the app, but it will have most of them. Available on Google Play and iTunes, the app will also allow you to stream the radio calls of the games. 

Those three options are the legal and safe routes, but there is the illegally streaming route. But first, a note...

Don't download anything from any of these sites. Some have very creative pop-ups that tell you you need to download a video player to watch, or that your player is out of date. That isn't true, and none of these streams require anything other than Flash (which 99.9% of you have on your computer already).

Disclaimer: Chat Sports does not encourage the illegal streaming of games, but we’re not naive enough to pretend that it doesn’t happen. Stream at your own risk (and don’t download anything from these sites – it’s like the Wild West out there).

NOTE: You can follow this year's tournament game stats, scores and live play-by-play in the Chat Sports Android and iPhone app!
