Yale may have punched their ticket to March Madness 2024 in exhilarating fashion – a Matt Knowling buzzer-beater in the Ivy League championship game – but power conference opponents are a whole different beast. Today's opponents, SEC tournament-winners Auburn, had one of the highest scoring margins in the country this season, something that makes a mockery of their No.15 overall seeding.

Ahead of tip-off, Auburn are heavy -13.5 point favorites according to DraftKings.
The Tigers rank amongst the best in the nation for both 2-point and 3-point defense, conceding an average of 68.5 points per game through the regular season, while scoring 83.5. That's a whopping 15-point winning margin, and that SEC Tournament MVP Johni Broome is being mentioned in the same breath as Zach Edey shows how highly regarded Auburn's center is.
The Bulldogs play largely through their own big man, 7ft forward Danny Wolf, who's going to have to show his teeth if the East regional No.13 seeds are to stand a chance at Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena today.
Auburn should also be in their groove already. They beat three teams that qualified for March Madness en route to the SEC Tournament title, and did so while playing a swashbuckling brand of basketball.
The winning team will face either No.5-seeded San Diego State or No.12-seeded UAB in the Round of 32. Read on as we explain how to watch Auburn vs Yale live streams from anywhere with a VPN.
Watch Auburn vs Yale in the U.S.
Auburn vs Yale is being shown on TNT in the U.S., with tip-off set for 4:15 p.m. ET / 1:15 p.m. PT today.
If you've already cut the cord and don't have a cable package, you can get every channel you need for March Madness through an OTT cable TV alternative. Games are split between TNT, TBS, TruTV and CBS.
Sling TV is one of the best value option. TNT, TBS and TruTV are included in its Blue plan, with prices starting from $45/month and your first month half-price.
You can add CBS with a subscription to Paramount Plus Premium ($11.99 per month).
Together, those cost $56.99 per month – but only $34.49 for your first month – which is less than Fubo, YouTube TV and Hulu with live TV. We have more details on how to watch March Madness 2024 without cable at the best prices on our main event page.
An even cheaper alternative for this year is HBO's streaming service Max with its B/R Sports Add-On, which is included for free during March Madness 2024 as a limited time offer.
The B/R Sports Add-On brings access to the games on TBS, TNT and TruTV. Max prices start at $9.99/month with ads, going to $15.99/month ad-free. Or there's a special on at the moment with 40% off if you pay for a whole year upfront and effectively get 12 months for as little as $5.83 per month.
You'll still need Paramount Plus Premium for the CBS games but it means you can watch all of March Madness 2024 for the bargain basement price of $21.98. Not bad at all.
Lastly, for some customers, YouTubeTV is offering a free trial period which could allow people to watch March Madness 2024 for free. We have more on March Madness for cord-cutters right here.

Can you watch Auburn vs Yale in the U.K.?
Sky Sports has the rights to NCAA basketball in the U.K., with games being shown on its Mix and Arena channels, but at the time of writing it doesn't look like Auburn vs Yale will be televised.

For general March Madness coverage, if you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £18/month to add those channels.

Sky Glass is another option. This gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar, and without the need for a dish. Prices start at £14/month for the TV, plus a Sky sub on top of that.
If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky subscription, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. This gives you 24-hour access for £11.99 or month-long access for £34.99.
