I finally took the plunge recently and cut the cord in favor of YouTube TV, and I’m really happy with it so far. For a long time, none of the streaming services had all the channels I wanted, particularly when it came to sports channels. I didn’t want to sign up for 10 different services to get what I needed, so I stuck with cable until a friend convinced me to try YouTube TV.

So, this is officially my first Men’s March Madness watching fully on streaming, and my friends over at Roku gave me a great guide to pass along to you to make it easy to watch all the games.

Roku’s Sport Experience on the home screen menu is the perfect one-stop shop for all March Madness games. Users can simply navigate to the Sports tab to see live and upcoming games in one central location. Check out the instructions below to learn how to watch March Madness on your Roku device.
