After yet another dramatic college basketball season, the road to crowning a national champion is underway as the 2025 NCAA Tournament continues with first-round games in March Madness. This year's edition of March Madness cranks up beginning on Thursday with the first-round matchups.

truTV is included in most basic cable subscriptions, but if you’re a cord cutter, a live TV streaming service will be your best bet. Several that include truTV offer free trials, though none of the trials are long enough to span the entire NCAA Tournament.

The 2025 NCAA Tournament will officially start with First Four games on March 18 and March 19 before the highly anticipated opening weekend of March Madness. The tournament will end with the championship game at the Alamodome in San Antonio on April 7.
