How To Watch March Madness On PS4 And Xbox One

It's the most wonderful time of the year for college basketball. As of 12:15 PM ET today, March Madness is underway. A whopping 32 games will be played over the next two days, and there will surely be down-to-the-wire contests, crazy upsets, and storylines no one could have predicted.

If you have a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, you can watch the competition on your console without a cable subscription. On PlayStation 4, you can do this through Sony's PlayStation Vue streaming service. Just recently, the app was updated to support multi-channel viewing, which sounds perfect for March Madness, as you can watch as many as three channels at once.

March Madness games are broadcast on CBS, TBS, TNT, and TruTV, all of which are available on PlayStation Vue through its cheapest package, Access, which costs $40 month. One thing to be aware of is that CBS (which is GameSpot's parent company) may not necessarily be available where you live. You can visit the PlayStation Vue website to find out if it's offered in your market.

On Xbox One, you can watch March Madness with Sling TV. The most basic package, Sling Orange ($20), does not include every March Madness channel, so you'll need at least Sling Orange ($25) to see the games on TBS, TNT, and TruTV. Additionally, Sling TV does not offer any CBS programming. However, you can watch games broadcast on CBS through the CBS Sports app on Xbox One or on CBSSports.com.
