The women's March Madness tournament advances to the Elite Eight portion of the NCAA college basketball competition today. The eight top teams will play each other on Sunday and Monday, before being whittled down to the Final Four on Friday. The games are spread across two networks, so we'll show you everything you need to know when it comes to how to watch women's March Madness.
No. 1 seeds Iowa, Texas, and South Carolina are still in the competition, with the latter going undefeated so far this season. Iowa is helmed by Caitlin Clark, who broke the Division 1 career points record for both men and women earlier this year. The question now is whether she can lead the team, which lost to LSU in the finals last year, to the championship.

How to watch women's March Madness in the US
The remaining women's March Madness games will be broadcast on ABC or ESPN, depending on the game. If you don't have cable, this means you'll want to try out a live TV alternative like Sling TV or Hulu + Live TV.
For Sling TV, you'll want to opt for the Sling Orange plan, which includes ESPN. This goes for $40 per month. If you also want ABC, you'll need to get the Sling Orange and Blue combo plan, which costs $55 per month. But before you bump up to that next tier, you'll need to check out their local channels listing, since ABC, FOX, and NBC affiliates are only available through Sling in select markets.
Hulu + Live TV also carries ESPN, as well as ABC in most areas. Monthly subscriptions start at $76.99 per month and include Disney+, ESPN+, and Hulu's entire on-demand catalog.
How to watch women's March Madness from anywhere
If you're traveling out of the US right now but still want to catch the games, then it's time to introduce you to a VPN (virtual private network). VPNs alter your device's location so that you can access websites and apps that might not otherwise be available in your region. Since the options we've outlined require US forms of payment, this solution works best for Americans who are simply out of the country at the moment and just want to access their existing live TV subscriptions.
Our go-to recommendation is ExpressVPN, a straight-forward VPN that comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Check out our ExpressVPN review to learn more about the service and keep reading to see how to use it.
How to watch women's March Madness with a VPN
- Sign up for a VPN if you don't already have one.
- Install it on the device you're planning to watch on.
- Turn it on and set it to a US location.
- Sign up for the relevant live TV streaming services mentioned above with a US form of payment.
- Select ESPN or ABC and enjoy the competition.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
