Championship Week is upon us, and by Sunday, we’ll know the full field for the 2021 NCAA men’s basketball tournament. In the meantime, there are automatic bids to be clinched and bubble cases to be improved during Championship Week — the week almost every conference conducts their postseason tournaments.

The first major conference to tip off its tournament is the ACC. The first round tips on Tuesday and it runs until the championship game on Saturday. The ACC Network is airing the first two rounds and ESPN or ESPN2 will air the quarterfinals, semifinals, and championship game.

If you aren’t around a TV to follow the tournament, you can stream it through WatchESPN. For the first two rounds, you’ll need a specific ACC Network subscription. For the remaining rounds, a regular cable subscription that includes ESPN will get you access. If you don’t have a cable login to access ACC Network and/or ESPN for live stream, you can get a free trial from YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, AT&T TV Now, FuboTV, or Sling TV to stream the tournament.
