How To Watch the NCAA Wrestling Championship Free

The 2022 NCAA Wrestling Championship runs from Thursday, March 17, to Saturday, March 19, 2022. While the tournament will air on the combination of ESPNU, ESPN, and ESPN2, you don’t need cable to watch. Not only do you not need cable, but you can watch the whole tournament live as it airs and for free using a free trial to a streaming service that carries all three channels. I’ve linked those services and provided instructions on watching each below.

• DIRECTV STREAM – offers a 5-day free trial. ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU are all in the “choice” package. See our review of DIRECTV STREAM for more details.
• Sling TV – offers a 3-day free trial. Subscribe to the “Orange Package” for ESPN and ESPN2, then add the “Sports Extra” add-on package for ESPNU. See our review of Sling for more details.
• FuboTV – offers a 1-week free trial.  ESPN and ESPN2 are available in the basic plan, add the FuboTV Sports Extra package for ESPNU. See our review of fuboTV for more information.
