March Madness 2017 live online: How to stream Thursday’s NCAA Tournament action online

If you aren’t near a TV for every game in the 2017 NCAA Tournament, no problem.

If you buy something from a link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.

Arguably one of the greatest days of the entire sports year is finally here, the first day of the NCAA tournament. There will be plenty of action on day one, including the defending National Champion, Villanova Wildcats, starting their road to repeat titles. If you’re away from a TV for any reason on Thursday, you’ll still be able to watch any game you’d like.

Every game will be streamed online here on March Madness Live. If you’re away from a computer, you can download the app to stream from your mobile device in the App Store or Google Play store. It will also be available on Roku. It should be noted that March Madness Live requires authentication through your TV provider login.

You can also watch tournament games through online providers like SlingTV and Playstation Vue. Both of these also require a login, but you won’t need to go through a standard provider.

And don’t worry if you’re watching the games at work, the March Madness website will once again have the “boss button” available.

Additional streaming options:

CBS All-Access
Amazon Fire TV
Amazon Fire Tablets
iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch
Roku players
Microsoft Windows 10 mobile, desktop, xBox One
