Since the 2026 NCAA game airs on NBC, it will also be available to watch live on any streaming service that carries said network, including DirecTV (with a five-day free trial), Fubo (with a five-day free trial), Sling and Hulu + Live TV.

Saturday’s game will also be available to stream live on Peacock, and while the streamer doesn’t offer a free trial directly, fans can get two months of free Peacock access (thanks to a limited-time promo) through any of DirecTV’s Signature packages, which also offer the standard five-day free trial.

Here’s exactly how to claim DirecTV’s Peacock offer: Select your preferred signature package, then opt to add “Movies Extra Pack + Peacock Premium” where it instructs you to pick your add-ons. As indicated, you’ll automatically get two months of the Movies Extra Pack + Peacock included in your subscription (click here to see everything the add-on offers on top of Peacock). After two months, unless cancelled at any time, DirecTV’s Movies Extra Pack + Peacock will renew monthly at the then-prevailing rate.

For another savvy streaming hack, a subscription to Peacock is available through Prime Video and unlike direct subscriptions on PeacockTV.com, Peacock on Prime Video offers a seven-day trial period for the Premium Plus plan. Following the trial, unless cancelled at any time, the subscription will continue at the standard rate.
