We wait all year for March Madness and then, before you know it, we're down to the Final Four. And the first of the two games coming from Minneapolis is the number one ranked team Virginia going up against Auburn of Alabama. The great news is that watching March Madness is really easy from a number of outlets, and we can tell you how to get a Virginia vs Auburn live stream regardless of where in the world you are.
With that number one ranking, there's no doubt that Virginia go in to this Final Four game – their first for over 30 years – as favorites. Virginia's buzzer-beating win against Purdue in the Elite Eight was too narrow a win by far, and they'll be hoping for a more comfortable passage to the Championship game here. Can the likes of Kyle Guy, Ty Jerome and De’Andre Hunter fire them there?
But Auburn are pretty hot themselves right now, boasting an impressive winning streak and some three-point shooting that's hard to match. Just one problem…star man Chuma Okeke is still missing through injury. Can Auburn overcome his absence and reach its first ever Championship game?
It doesn't matter who or where you are, as TechRadar has your guide to getting a Viginia vs Auburn March Madness live stream from absolutely anywhere. The only thing you have to worry about is the snacks!
