The last phase of the 2021-22 NCAA College Basketball Division I season is about to start, March is the month when the tournament begins to define the national champion. 68 teams will play four levels within the tournament known as March Madness, from mid March to the first week of April where the championship game will be played.

This year the tournament will be available on multiple live stream services like FuboTV and Sling TV which will offer the most important March Madness games like the semifinals and the championship game. Aside from live stream services, big networks like CBS, TBS, TNT and truTV will offer all 67 tournament games.

It’s unlikely that anyone will be able to watch all 67games, but the most interesting games are the ones played by big favorites like Gonzaga or the defending champion Baylor Bears who recently lost to Oklahoma and that puts them away from the top seed in the conference.
