With just hours left until Selection Sunday, the final college basketball tournament championship is here. We've put together everything you need to know about how to watch Wisconsin vs. Michigan, including the cheapest way to live stream the game in the US.
It's been a long battle to the top, but only two teams remain. Wisconsin returns to the Big Ten Championship, hoping to turn the tables on last year's 93-87 loss to Illinois. The Badgers eliminated top-seed Michigan State yesterday in a tight 77-74 semifinal victory, but it was no match for the University of Michigan's 1-point win over Maryland yesterday. The 81-80 victory was thanks to a buzzer beater from Michigan's Tre Donaldson.
The least expensive way to live stream the game is through Paramount Plus, and we'll break down which plan you need below. Plus, we'll highlight a few other live TV streaming services that will be able to help you out during March Madness. Don't forget to bookmark our college basketball streaming guide.

How to watch Wisconsin vs. Michigan in the US
If you don't have access to CBS through cable or an antenna, there are a few live streaming services that can help you out today. Paramount Plus is the cheapest of the bunch. You'll need to opt in to higher the Paramount Plus with Showtime tier to unlock CBS live streaming. This plan costs $13/month and includes ad-free on-demand streaming.
You can also live stream CBS through a live TV channel package like DirecTV Stream or Fubo. Like Paramount Plus, these are month-to-month options, so you can cancel anytime. DirecTV Stream's Entertainment plan costs $87/month, offers 90+ live channels, and comes with a five-day free trial. Fubo's Pro plan costs $85/month, offers 150+ live channels, and has a seven-day free trial. Plus, you can get $20 off your first month of service. For fans hoping to tune into March Madness after today's game, we recommend DirecTV Stream since Fubo doesn't carry Warner Bros. channels like TNT.
How to watch Wisconsin vs. Michigan from anywhere
Big Ten fans traveling outside the US can still keep up with their usual watch options with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are easy-to-use cybersecurity tools that enable people to alter their virtual locations. This way, their electronic devices can access websites and apps from anywhere. Since the services we've highlighted require US payment methods, this option will work best for Americans who are just traveling abroad.
