The powerhouse teams most recently faced off in February, when the Huskies stunned the Gamecocks at home in South Carolina in an 87-58 win over the reigning champions. Thanks to that win and a stellar postseason performance, UConn are the favorite headed into today’s championship game.
How to Watch UConn vs. South Carolina Women’s NCAA Championship
The women’s NCAA basketball championship is airing on ESPN and ABC. If you’ve cut the cord, you can still stream UConn vs. South Carolina by signing up for a live TV streaming service that includes ESPN/ABC or by subscribing directly to ESPN+.
Here’s a rundown of the best options to watch UConn vs. South Carolina online tonight:
Editor’s pick
DirecTV Stream
Pros: Free trial, focused packages, bonus streaming services
Cons: Pricey
DirecTV Stream is our top pick for watching the women’s March Madness championship. The MySports package includes 20+ sports channels — ESPN and ABC among them — and also throws in a free ESPN+ subscription for extra coverage. After a five-day free trial, the plan costs $69.99/month. All DirecTV Stream packages are a good cable alternative, offering plenty of channels, no contracts, and compatibility with all major streaming devices.
most affordable
ESPN+
Pros: Affordable, easy to use
Cons: No free trial, limited content
$11.99
If you’re looking for an affordable option, ESPN+ is the cheapest way to watch UConn vs. South Carolina, although it doesn’t offer a free trial. Subscriptions cost $11.99/month or $119.99/year. While ESPN+ gives you a decent range of sports content (UFC, MLB, golf, and more), it’s not a full replacement for ESPN’s main channels. The app is easy to use, and it’s affordable, but not everything airing on regular ESPN is available on ESPN+.
Fubo
Pros: Free trial, huge channel lineup
Cons: Pricey, missing Warner Bros. Discovery Networks
Fubo is another great all-in-one option for basketball fans looking to stream the NCAA women’s championship. The service offers up to 250+ channels, including ESPN and ABC. Plans start at $84.99/month, but new users get a seven-day free trial and $20 off their first month. One downside: Fubo doesn’t carry Warner Bros. Discovery channels like TNT or TBS, which might matter if you plan on watching more basketball after today’s game.
Hulu + Live TV
Pros: Free trial, bonus streaming services
Cons: Pricey, limited channel lineup compared to the competition
Hulu + Live TV is also worth considering. It includes ESPN and ABC, and it comes bundled with ESPN+ at no extra cost. You’ll get 95+ channels, which is fewer than Fubo or DirecTV’s bigger packages, but it still covers all the major networks. Hulu + Live TV also includes Disney+ and Hulu’s full on-demand catalog. Pricing starts at $82.99/month and begins with a three-day free trial.
Women’s NCAA Championship Game Date, Start Time
The women’s NCAA championship game between UConn and South Carolina goes down today, Sunday, April 6. Tipoff is at 3 p.m. ET.
UConn vs. South Carolina Odds Prediction
Although UConn is the lower-seeded team — and South Carolina are the reigning champions — the Huskies are the favorite to win today in a 6.5-point spread.
