Caitlin Clark has gone pro, so Iowa was knocked out of the NCAA Women’s Tournament in the second round this year. But South Carolina is looking to continue their winning streak.
The Gamecocks topped the Hawkeyes last year, completing the team’s “revenge tour” after a loss in 2023. Now the school is hunting for a legacy. First, though, it needs to make its way through the University of Texas—and then take on either UConn or UCLA.
The women’s Final Four might not be getting the attention it has for the past few years, as superstar players have moved onto the next stage of their careers, but it’s still a must-watch event for fans of the game.
Here’s when and where the Final Four games will be airing and ways to watch for free, without a cable subscription.

How can I watch the Women’s Final Four games for free?
Sorry, but you can’t. The games are ESPN exclusives. The good news, though, is that the National Championship game on Sunday will be aired on ABC, meaning you can watch that without a cable subscription. All you need is a good HD antenna. To ensure you’re getting the most reliable signal for the CBS-carried games, you’ll want to test the antenna in multiple locations in your home.
Can I stream the Women’s Final Four online?
You can. Here are a few possible ways to do so.
Disney+
Disney’s bundle of Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ no longer has a free trial, so you’ll have to pay $17 per month for all three combined (or $30 per month for no ads on Hulu).
Including Live TV in the bundle bumps the price to $77 per month ($90 with no ads).
Hulu with Live TV
The free trial on this service lasts three days. Afterward, it will cost you $77 per month.
YouTubeTV
After a free trial, you can expect monthly charges of $73.
Sling TV
Dish Network’s Sling lower-tiered “Orange” plan will run you $40 per month. Adding the more comprehensive “Blue” plan bumps the cost to $55 per month. The seven-day free trial has disappeared, unfortunately.
DirecTV Stream
Formerly known as DirecTV Now, AT&T TVNow and AT&T TV, this oft-renamed streaming service will run you $80 per month and up after the free trial option.
Fubo TV
This sports-focused cord-cutting service carries broadcast networks in most markets. There’s a seven-day free trial, followed by monthly charges of $80 and up, depending on the channels you choose.
