How to watch TruTV from anywhere in the world for free

Bruce Brown
By

College basketball fans are rejoicing because they can get their annual playoffs fix when they watch March Madness from now through the NCAA Championship game on April 3, 2023. In order to see all the games live for free when you watch NCAA basketball you need to access the TruTV live stream. TruTV doesn’t have all the games – they’re split between TBS, TNT, ESPN, CBS, and TruTV. The other channels are generally available on smart TVs or over the air with a digital antenna, but TruTV is not as common. TruTV isn’t just for NCAA basketball; the streaming channel also features movies, shows, and original programming. If you subscribe to a conventional TV services provider such as AT&T, Optimum, Spectrum, Verizon, Xfinity, Dish, DirecTV, or Cox, you can watch TruTV to catch the action. If you cut the cord from cable or satellite TV services, you’re still in luck because TruTV is included with several primary streaming services.

Watch TruTV on Sling TV

Sling TV includes TruTV with a Sling Blue $40 monthly subscription. In addition to a 30-channel TV line-up, Sling TV plans include 50 hours of digital video recording (DVR) with Cloud DVR. Sling Blue also allows three simultaneous device streams for channels available only on Sling Blue, which includes TruTV. So you can record a TruTV live stream NCAA game for later viewing if you can’t watch it in real time. You can access Sling TV with most smart TVs, iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, Mac and Windows computers, and Xbox game consoles.

Hulu with Live TV includes TruTV in its 70-channel menu. Two users can stream at the same time. Hulu with Live TV subscribers can also record streaming content to an unlimited Cloud DVR account. You can access Hulu with Live TV from most TVs and mobile devices, but you have to register your subscription with a home network. To access  Hulu with Live TV on a mobile device when you are away from home, you first need to check in with the mobile app when connected to your home network. After the initial home network mobile device configuration, you’ll need to check in with the mobile app on your home network every 30 days to avoid service interruptions. Disney owns Hulu, so you can choose from multiple streaming content bundles. For example, a Hulu with Live TV with ads bundle that includes Disney Plus with ads and ESPN Plus with ads is $70 per month. You can also subscribe to Hulu with Live TV with no ads, Disney Plus with no ads, and ESPN Plus (only available with ads) for $83 monthly.
