What’s the best live TV streaming service for March Madness?

After Max for $10 a month, Sling TV at $40 per month is the next cheapest option for watching the Final Four and National Championship on TBS. 

With its multi-view capability, YouTube TV was a great pick for earlier in the tournament if you wanted to watch more than one game at a time, but that’s not a concern at this stage of the tournament when only one game is played at a time. YouTube TV, along with Hulu with Live TV and DirecTV Stream offer TBS.
