How to watch the first round of March Madness 2025:
Sling doesn't offer a free trial these days, and March Madness lasts longer than your standard trial would. It's still a solid option to catch most games in the tournament. Emphasis on most, because one big blindspot for Sling is that it doesn't carry CBS.
That said, for $45 for your first month of Sling Orange + Blue and the Sports Extra add-on, you can catch all the games on TBS, TNT, TruTV, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNU, ESPNews and ABC.
