- The Big Ten Championship Game will air on CBS, which is carried by both Fubo and DirecTV Stream, but the title game will also be available streaming live for free on Paramount Plus, which you can also get with a free trial.
- If you are all out of free trials, or just need a streaming service to watch games all the way through the NCAA Tournament, Sling is the cheapest way to watch the most games live all month without signing up for a traditional cable package.
