Just four teams remain in this year’s men’s March Madness tournament — and they’re all No. 1 seeds. Kicking off the Final Four action at Alamodome in San Antonio are the Florida Gators and the Auburn Tigers.
How to Watch Florida vs. Auburn
The SEC headliners faced off earlier this year on Feb. 8 when Florida dominated an unusually weak Auburn. The Gators proceeded to go on a hot streak, winning 14 of 15 games since then. Most recently, in the Elite Eight, Florida squeezed into the semifinals with an 84-79 victory over No. 3 Texas Tech. The Tigers, on the other hand, have regrouped since a messy end to the regular season. Auburn secured its spot in the Final Four with a 70-64 win over No. 2 Michigan State.
Looking to watch the Gators face the Tigers? Read on. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best ways to livestream Florida vs. Auburn online without cable.

Editor’s pick
DirecTV Stream
Pros: Free trial, huge channel lineup, great for sports
Cons: Pricey
DirecTV Stream is our top choice overall to watch every March Madness game this year (men’s and women’s). The streaming service carries CBS in all of its Signature packages, which come with a five-day free trial and start at $86.99 a month. The entry-level Entertainment pack carries over 90 channels, so you’re essentially getting a full cable package without the box, contracts, or hassle.
Fubo
Pros: Free trial, huge channel lineup
Cons: Pricey, missing Warner Bros. Discovery Networks
Another great comprehensive service that you can use to stream Florida vs. Auburn (and every other remaining March Madness game) is Fubo. The service offers one of the largest channel lineups of any service, although it doesn’t include TNT (which can be tricky for basketball fans). This one starts with a seven-day free trial and starts at $84.99 a month. Right now, Fubo is also running a deal that slashes $20 off your first month’s bill.
