The women's Elite Eight March Madness games tip-off today. Below, you can find everything you need to know about how to watch UCLA vs. LSU, including live streaming options for cord-cutters.
Two of the season's big hitters will meet today. This Elite Eight match-up is a repeat of last year's Sweet 16, a relatively tight game that LSU ultimately won in the last quarter, resulting in a 78-69 win for the Tigers. No. 1 seed UCLA enters March Madness with a much stronger regular season than last year, boasting a 29-2 regular season record. With a 28-5 record, No. 3 LSU has had a slightly rockier journey, but the team's storied history at March Madness gives them a bit of a familiarity edge over UCLA, who have yet to make it to the Final Four.
No matter which team you're hoping to see advance to the next round, we'll make sure you know how to tune into the high-stakes game. And if you're hoping to catch additional games, don't forget to bookmark our March Madness streaming guide.

DirecTV Stream is another popular way to live stream ABC. You have a couple of options, the cheapest of which is the MySports genre pack. This package carries 25+ sports channels for $70/month, although (like Sling) you'll need to see if ABC is available in your area before subscribing.

All DirecTV Stream plans come with a five-day free trial.
Fubo is another instant way to live stream ABC. Fubo's Pro plan offers a whopping 150+ live channels, many of which are sports-centric. Subscriptions start at $85/month, but new users can get up to $30 off their first month of service after a seven-day free trial.
How to watch UCLA vs. LSU from anywhere
If you're traveling outside the US, you don't need to worry about missing out on the game. You can still access your usual watch options with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are handy cybersecurity tools that enable you to alter your virtual location. This allows your electronic device to use the same websites and apps that it can access back home. The services we've highlighted require US methods of payment, so this option will work best for Americans who are just abroad at the moment.
Not sure where to start when it comes to VPNs? Our go-to recommendation is ExpressVPN, a user-friendly option with a 30-day money-back guarantee. You can learn more about it in our ExpressVPN review, and see below to learn how to use a VPN.
