Quick hits

English = FOX + FS1 — all 104 matches. About 72 are on big FOX, free with an antenna, including everything from the Round of 16 on.
En español = Telemundo + Peacock — 92 matches on Telemundo; Peacock streams them. Often the better broadcast.
Cord-cutter? Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV — all carry FOX and FS1, so any of them = the whole tournament.
No 3 a.m. alarms — it's all in North America. Kickoffs land in normal American TV windows.
