NCAA March Madness Live is the official streaming app for the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship, giving fans access to all 67 tournament games live across TBS, TNT, truTV, and CBS. The 2026 version introduced expanded multi-game viewing, letting users watch up to four simultaneous games on tablets and two on phones — perfect for the hectic early rounds. It also includes live Westwood One radio broadcasts, instant highlights, real-time game updates via lock-screen widgets, and the Capital One Bracket Challenge (now including women's brackets for the first time). The interactive cheering feature shows real-time fan engagement scores, and the "Boss Button" lets you quickly hide the stream. A must-have app for college basketball fans each March. 🏀🏆
