The 2024 SEC men’s tournament is almost here. It will be played from March 13 through 17 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee, and it will determine which NCAA team will come out on top in the conference. Last year, the Alabama Crimson Tide took home the title and will be back to defend their crown. The bracket hasn’t yet been decided, so it remains to be seen who will play who once the tournament starts, but with so many fierce competitors going head to head, it will no doubt be an exciting few days of hoops.
Basketball fans won’t want to miss a second of the action — and they don’t have to! All of the games will be available to watch on your favorite streaming services. If you’re wondering how to watch the 2024 SEC men’s basketball tournament without cable, we have the answers ahead.

Watch on Sling TV (Our preferred service)
Sling TV is your best budget option for streaming the SEC tournament. Though it requires an add-on to get the SEC Network, you still only need to get Sling Orange plus the Sports Extra add-on to have both channels — and that only comes out to $51 per month ($40 per month for Sling Orange and $11 per month for Sports Extra).
Because it’s a budget option, you won’t get a lot extra — it’s short on channels and only offers 50 hours of cloud DVR — but if you want a targeted option that’s no frills, this is a winner. The Sports Extra will also give you access to ESPNU, Big Ten Network, ACC Network, and more sports channels so you can keep up with other teams as well. That means you’ll know how all the college teams are doing during the postseason!
Watch on DIRECTV STREAM
DIRECTV STREAM is a well-rounded streaming service that has pretty much everything you need — including the channels to watch all of the SEC tournament. As long as you pick DIRECTV STREAM’s Choice, Ultimate, or Premier packages (starting at $108.99 per month), you’ll have access to SEC Network. ESPN is included, no matter what. But with DIRECTV STREAM’s massive channel selection across the board (105+ with Choice, and it only goes up from there), you’ll have everything from sports and movies to news and family-friendly options that everyone in the house can enjoy. Plus, you get unlimited cloud DVR.
Watch on Fubo
Fubo is designed for sports fans and has all the channels you’ll need — especially for streaming postseason action. Not only do you get the SEC Network and ESPN, but you’ll also have Big Ten Network, CBS Sports Network, NBA TV, Tennis Channel, and so much more. You’ll have more sports channels than you’ll know what to do with! Fortunately, you’ll also have 1,000 hours of cloud DVR, so you can record games when you’re not home and watch them later. Fubo’s plans start at $79.99 per month, offering 170+ channels.
Watch on Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV has both the SEC Network and ESPN on offer — and much more. Starting at $76.99 per month, Hulu + Live TV gives subscribers 85+ channels, including both of the ones needed to catch all of the action of the SEC tournament. Plus, you’ll get more sports channels like FS1, Big Ten Network, ESPNEWS, and more.
Plus, in addition to getting all of Hulu’s on-demand library — which includes movies and TV shows and plenty of original content — subscribers will also get Disney Plus and ESPN Plus. That means you’ll have tons more entertainment, as well as more sports to watch any time there’s not a game on. It’s all included in your monthly Hulu + Live TV price.
Watch on YouTube TV
YouTube TV may be the most simple streaming service on the surface — it just has a base package, so no decision-making is required when you subscribe — but it’s a solid one. You get both channels needed for SEC tournament viewing, and it rings up at $72.99 per month. In the 100-plus channel package, you’re also getting NBA TV, ESPN2, Big Ten Network, and more.
YouTube TV also offers unlimited cloud DVR so you can record any games you miss, as well as enhanced viewing capabilities like Key Plays View and Stats View. You might need these during the tournament so you can track how your alma mater (or just your favorite team) is faring.
