NCAA March Madness Live, the digital home for the NCAA’s Men’s Basketball Tournament managed by Turner Sports, is adding features to the platform, which will stream all 67 games starting March 17.
One new feature is the Starting Lineup Challenge, a fantasy sports type of game that lets fans pick a lineup of five teams before the tournament starts. Instead of being out when their teams lose, players will be able to buy and sell teams as games are played. Winning teams get points and players who hold onto their teams get bonuses. The game was created with SharpLink Gaming.
March Madness Live will also let viewers watch two games at once on some connected devices including Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Google TV and Xbox One.
