Women’s March Madness 2024: Catch Caitlin Clark and Every Tournament Game Live!

Your Guide to Women’s March Madness 2024: The NCAA Women’s March Madness Basketball Tournament begins on Wednesday, March 20 and Thursday, March 21 following Selection Sunday.

It is impossible not to be impressed by Caitlin Clark. The sensational Iowa guard leads the nation in points and assists and breaks scoring records seemingly every other week. With Clark’s record of all-time scoring in NCAA Division 1 — both men’s and women’s — the Hawkeyes have been a top seed in March Madness, along with South Carolina, USC and Texas.

The sport will continue to grow after Clark leaves for the WNBA because of the number of supremely talented freshman that have made a significant impact this season. USC’s JuJu Watkins averages 27 points per game — second only to Clark — and Notre Dame’s Hannah Hidalgo is third in the nation in scoring, while MiLaysia Fulwiley has led an undefeated regular season for the University of South Carolina. Defending champs LSU is led by juniors Angel Reese and Aneesah Morrow and freshman guard Mikaylah Williams.

What does the Women’s NCAA tournament bracket look like?

Check out the official bracket to see all the matchups and see who might make it to the finals.

The two schools find themselves on opposite sides of the bracket this year, which means they could meet in the national championship after South Carolina hasn’t lost since last year’s Final Four meeting Iowa.

It is unlikely that the Hawkeyes will be able to reach the Final Four if they face the defending champions in No. 3 LSU in the Elite Eight.

What is the schedule for Iowa vs. Caitlin Clark?

Iowa’s first-round game on Saturday will be played at 3 p.m. ET (12 p.m. PT) on ABC in Iowa City against the winner of the play-in game between Holy Cross and UT Martin.

Which streaming options are available for women’s March Madness?

With YouTube TV, you can watch all four ESPN channels and ABC in its base plan for $73 a month, and you can watch up to four games simultaneously.

There’s only one other service that supports multiview, but it costs more than YouTube TV and charges extra for ESPNU and ESPNews. Similarly, DirectTV Stream’s base plan costs more than YouTube TV’s and does not include ESPNU or ESPNews. Sling TV offers ABC only in a few markets, so it’s also a poor choice.

It lacks multiview, but its $77 base plan includes all five channels needed to watch any game of the women’s tournament.
