In addition to football, the NCAA’s March Madness tournament will captivate basketball fans with a total of 134 games across both men’s and women’s tournaments. The men’s NCAA championship game is scheduled for April 6, while the women’s championship will take place on April 5. March Madness is a single-elimination tournament that showcases the best college basketball teams in the country.
Disney+ will stream all March Madness games in the UK and Europe, excluding the Netherlands, for a monthly subscription cost of £5.99. This provides an accessible option for fans wanting to catch every moment of the tournament.
Historically, the first men’s NCAA tournament was held in 1939 and has become a staple of American sports culture, continuing annually except for the 2020 season due to the coronavirus pandemic.
