How to Watch Miami vs. Houston March Madness Game Live Online on March 24 for Free

The NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament is back on Friday, March 24 with the second day of games in the Sweet Sixteen. In Kansas City at 7:15 p.m. ET, the No. 1 Houston Cougars are set to square off against the upset-minded No. 5 Miami Hurricanes. The game is airing exclusively on CBS, which you can stream with a Live TV Streaming Service.

Houston Cougars vs. Miami Hurricanes

The Cougars and ‘Canes game will air on CBS, which is available with a 5-Day Free Trial of DIRECTV STREAM. You can also stream CBS on Hulu Live TV, Fubo, Paramount Plus, and YouTube TV. Here’s what makes each of these unique, including one that offers a free trial for you to watch Houston and Miami square off for a berth in the Elite Eight.

Can you stream Houston vs. Miami on DIRECTV STREAM?

You most certainly can. Since the game will be broadcast on CBS, you can actually watch it for free thanks to a (buy-link: directv-stream text: five-day free trial of DIRECTV STREAM. The streamer is also currently offering $10 off your first three months of its Choice Plan, which includes a slew of other sports channels, including CBS which has the Final Four and Championship games for this year’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. So if you feel like your team will make it that far or you just want to watch all the games on both TBS and CBS this weekend, this is the best streaming option for you.

Can you stream Houston vs. Miami on Fubo?

You bet. While Fubo doesn’t carry TNT, TBS, or TruTV, which are all airing games through the course of the tournament, it does carry CBS, so you will be able to watch with a seven-day free trial to Fubo. If you opt to watch games on this live streamer, you will be able to catch all of the Final Four and National Championship game, but there are Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight Games that you will miss because they air on TBS.

Can you stream Houston vs. Miami on Paramount Plus?

You can, but only if you subscribe to the Premium tier of the service. That is the pricing plan that includes a live feed of your local CBS affiliate. But, whether you opt for the ad-supported Essentials package or ad-free (for on-demand titles) Premium plan, you can get both for free with a 30-day free trial to Paramount+.

So, if you decide to sign up for Sling TV more on that service momentarily, you will still be able to watch the rest of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament games on CBS — including the Final Four and title game — at no additional charge.

Can you stream Houston vs. Miami on Hulu Live TV?

You can catch the Houston vs. Miami matchup on CBS, and it comes with some bonuses. Although a subscription to Hulu + Live TV, doesn’t offer a free trial or first-month discount, every subscription to Hulu + Live TV includes The Disney Bundle at no extra charge. So if you are already paying for ESPN+ or Disney+ separately, you actually would be saving money if you added a subscription to Hulu Live TV. That way, you’d see all of March Madness and have access to more than 70 top channels.

Can you stream Houston vs. Miami on YouTube TV?

YouTube TV is the last on our list of options for this game, but you can still stream it with the service nonetheless. The low ranking is because YouTube TV does not offer the additional discounts and perks that its competitors do, making it the most expensive way to watch this Sweet Sixteen matchup. But if you watch a lot of local sports or want unlimited DVR storage, YouTube TV is a good option for those.

Can you stream Houston vs. Miami on Sling TV?

Unfortunately, Sling TV doesn’t offer CBS so you won’t be able to stream the Sweet Sixteen matchup between the Cougs and the Canes. However, if you decide to take advantage of the streamer’s five-day free trial and 50% off your first month deal, you can pair it with Paramount+ to get all of the remaining March Madness games for a decent price. You will also be able to stream ACC Network, ACC Network Extra, Big Ten Network, ESPNU, Longhorn Network, Pac-12 Network, and SEC Network.
