PhD by Distance

Our PhD by Distance programme allows you to benefit from our world-class support and the expertise of a Reading-based supervisor, while conducting your research in a location that suits your circumstances.

The programme is available to candidates who need to study for most of their registration period at another site, whether in the UK, or worldwide. Acceptance for PhD by Distance is subject to the approval of the supervisors and the Dean of Postgraduate Research Studies and Researcher Development.

There are several reasons why you may wish to base yourself away from the University of Reading while undertaking your PhD:

• the nature of your research project requires substantial access to resources and facilities located away from Reading
• you have employment commitments relevant to your research that prevent you from being based in Reading
• your PhD project has been agreed as part of a specific partnership/sponsorship arrangement.

You can choose to complete a PhD by Distance programme on either a part-time or full-time basis.

Please email [email protected]   for details.

What the programme offers

On the PhD by Distance programme, you will benefit from:

• supervision from one or more leading University of Reading academics, working at the forefront of their field
• access to a range of high-quality training, delivered on campus or online 
• access to extensive online Library resources
• a reduced tuition fee  set at half the standard full- or part-time rate for periods when studying off-campus for students starting in 2023/24. For students starting in 2024/25 onwards, the tuition fee will increase in line with on-campus fees
• a PhD qualification which is examined at the same level as a campus-based PhD and a standard PhD degree certificate which does not state the mode of study on it.

“During my PhD by Distance, I undertook my research in the field in South Africa. This experience enabled me to develop a much deeper and intricate understanding of my research topic, which would not have been possible if I had been based in Reading for most of the time.”

Third-year doctoral student

Eligibility

In addition to meeting the standard academic and language eligibility requirements, you must be able to demonstrate that you:

• can successfully conduct your research with the resources available to you at your off-campus study site
• have access to appropriate IT facilities, so that you can engage in supervision and training from your off-campus study site
• have the necessary time, commitment and appropriate attitude toward studying off-campus.

If you are intending to study in the Henley Business School, then please check with the relevant Department within the Business School about whether PhD by Distance is available before you apply.

• How to apply

Before starting your application, you are strongly advised to navigate to the PhD webpages of your chosen school or department  to read the specific guidance on how to apply, as the requirements can vary. Once you have read the guidance, you will need to make a formal application through the University's online application system , highlighting that you wish to study for a PhD by Distance (full or part-time). If you have questions about PhD by Distance in a specific school or department, then please contact the relevant School/Department PGR Administrator in the School PGR Support Team .

Distance Learning PhD

What is a distance learning phd.

A Distance Learning (DL) PhD allows you to undertake your postgraduate research degree at a location and time that fits with your current commitments. The DL PhD has the same outcome, and is conducted and examined with the same rigour and quality measures as those taking place on campus.

Whilst enrolled as a DL PhD Student you will not usually be required to visit the campus, and will instead meet with your supervisory team and other members of the University Research community via virtual means. You will receive a similar level of support as our on-campus PhD students, including supervision, training and development, seminars and access to support staff.

Distance Learning PhD requirements

Fitting part-time study into a busy life requires careful planning. You will need to work with your supervisory team from the outset to establish a weekly schedule, and you should plan to access the resources you need in good time. To support achievement, the University provides specialist resources, bespoke training and key events for distance learners.

Your DL PhD will take 6 years (part-time), and you will be required to meet certain milestones during each stage of your PhD, including the Annual and Major Reviews, submission of your Thesis, and the Viva Voce examination. These will all be completed using electronic means, and the Graduate School Development Programme offers training and guidance for these important milestones.

You will need to ensure that you have access to the required resources for your research project, and any specific arrangements for this must be agreed, for the duration of your study, in advance. You will also need access to an electronic device with internet access and video conferencing capabilities, in order to fully participate in online meetings and events.

Help and support

The Graduate School and your faculty will provide many opportunities to attend training and events; some of these will be vital for your research, and some will help you meet people and feel connected. You can also use the University Library's extensive electronic library and services for distance learners.

Although you will be based off campus, you can still access the University’s academic support and health and wellbeing support via email, phone, online chat or video call. Our IT support team can also help if you have questions about working online or accessing materials remotely.

The cost of a Distance Learning PhD in most of our subject areas is £2,250 a year (part-time) for UK/EU students, and £7,800 a year (part-time) for international students.

Check your research subject area page area page for more details.

How to apply

If you have an original idea for a research, you can find a PhD supervisor among our academics, whose expertise matches your own. You can also apply for one of our pre-approved PhD projects or explore our PhD subject areas and make an initial enquiry to our postgraduate research team.

When you apply for a research degree with us, you will need to submit a research proposal that outlines – among other things – how your project will be successfully undertaken at a distance, and demonstrate that you have access to the required resources, including IT equipment.

Apply from the relevant subject area page.

PhD by Distance Learning

The University of Birmingham's College of Life and Environmental Sciences now offers PhD by Distance Learning.

This means that wherever you are in the world, you may now be able register with the University of Birmingham for your Doctoral qualification but undertake the majority of your studies in your home location.

Why study by distance learning? 

The main advantage of studying by distance learning is the flexibility. Financial and practical implications of moving closer to the campus make distance learning a more feasible option and could allow you to combine study with other commitments, including work and family.  Similarly, your research could be related to your area of residence and therefore moving would be detrimental to your capacity to carry out the research.

Is the distance learning route for you? 

The distance learning route to PhD study is not for everyone.  You have to have a very clear idea of your project and be able to motivate yourself.  Undertaking PhD study off campus can sometimes be quite isolating, so the ability to proactively seek out connections from within relevant research communities is important.  This route is well-suited to those who have a research project associated with their work or particular interests and where resources are available locally, over via the internet, to support your research e.g. appropriate archives and data collections.

How will I be supported? 

You will receive the same level of support and supervision as on-campus students.  The only difference is that supervisory sessions will take place via audio and visual communication services such as Teams or Zoom, rather than in person.

What is the cost?

We charge an annual tuition fee which is the same as our standard on-campus PhD but includes:

• Economy class flights to and from Birmingham for the compulsory visit during the first year of your PhD
• Accommodation at the University for the compulsory one-week campus visit during the first year of your PhD

How often will I need to be on campus?

You will be required to make one compulsory visit to the University during the first year of your PhD. Reasonable travel and accommodation costs for this 1-week visit will be reimbursed. This visit will enable you to meet your supervisory team, undertake additional research skills training, and make a start to your doctoral studies. You will discuss the most appropriate time for this visit with your supervisory team.

Am I eligible?

Before we can offer you a place it is important that you have agreement from your potential supervisor and that they are satisfied that you will be able to undertake the PhD on an off campus basis. This may mean that slightly different entry requirements apply, such as English language and more extensive research skills training. Agreements will also need to be reached regarding some of the more practical aspects of undertaking the PhD in this way (for example attendance requirements, suitability of the chosen residency etc). It is important that arrangements are discussed early so that all parties involved know what to expect and to ensure you are able to successfully complete your studies. 

Can I study by distance learning anywhere?

Distance Learning courses can be undertaken from anywhere in the world, including the UK. 

However, it is worth noting that supervisory sessions for Distance Learning students will take place via audiovisual communications, such as Skype or Facetime, rather than in person. 

While we have found that these 21st Century methods have proved popular, for those applicants who would prefer to visit the campus for face-to-face meetings with their supervisor, the traditional part-time study option may be more appropriate. 

How to apply?

Find the programme that you wish to apply for in our course finder and click on the 'Apply' button. 

As part of the application process, we will ask you to provide evidence to demonstrate that you have the time, commitment, facilities and experience to study for a PhD by Distance Learning. Please be prepared to provide evidence, and details, of the following:

• Examples of your postgraduate research experience and ability to work independently e.g. papers/presentations at professional and academic conferences or publications in professional journals or previous completion of an independent research project, etc. 
• Full reasons (academic and personal) for registering for the distance learning mode of study rather than by standard full or part-time on-campus options. In particular, how you will be able to carry out your project in your chosen location. 
• Access to local library facilities (where needed)
• Access to IT facilities
• Access to communications, including e-mail, and audiovisual communication media e.g. Skype and Facetime
• Access to facilities to support any study-related disability (where appropriate)

Please visit the course finder for a full list of subject areas available to study via distance mode.

Research degree by distance learning

The Research Degree by Distance Learning scheme allows candidates to enrol for a University of Westminster research degree, eg an MPhil/PhD* or a Professional Doctorate, for which a substantial period of study takes place away from the University research environment found on-campus.

The entry requirements, amount of work required and academic quality and expectations are the same as for PhD students studying in the UK.

*PhD Direct entry will not normally be permitted under this scheme.

It is expected that the distance-learning student will have appropriate local support, eg via a HEI and/or sponsor, for the whole duration of their study away from the University of Westminster, to provide necessary access to resources such as library, archives, computers, laboratories, virtual learning environments and any other facilities required by the area of research.

All formal intermediate and final assessments requiring the presentation of written work and a defence by viva voce will normally take place at the University of Westminster and attendance at elements of the University’s Doctoral Researcher Development Programme (DRDP) are mandatory – eg University and School Workshop 1.1, with other elements offered through online delivery. Therefore researchers studying by Distance Learning who are without a right to reside and study in the UK will need to comply with the University and UK Visas and Immigration Service requirements for obtaining an appropriate visa when planning visits to the UK.

Please note that Research Degrees by Distance Learning are not offered in all schools. Please see the individual research areas to see if it is offered in the school you are interested in.

What should I do next?

• Do you meet the entry requirements?
• How will you fund your programme?
• Do we cover your proposed area of research and is there a supervisory team available?

If you have an enquiry about whether the University is active in your area of research, please visit the research areas and discuss your research directly with academics in the Schools.

The United Kingdom is one of the top destinations for studying abroad as the top-ranked universities are all located there. As English is an international language, the UK is a very accessible country for foreign students. The living expenses vary across the UK.

PhD Fees in the UK for International Students

• Maisie Dadswell
• September 6, 2023

PhD fees in the UK for international students vary based on several factors, including your field of study, the university you are doing your doctorate research with and which city the university is in. The cost of a PhD in the UK is generally anywhere from £15,000 to £35,000 for annual PhD tuition fees. To help you budget, this article will cover all the variable factors before covering several potential finance options which can help you to fund your studying in the UK. 

Even if the fees seem steep at first, don’t get disheartened; there are plenty of funding sources for international students – there is a reason why UK universities, including UWS London, are such popular academic destinations for PhD students beyond our high academic standards.

It is also worth bearing in mind that PhD tuition fees tend to increase each year in line with inflation. Always ensure you are budgeting with the most up-to-date PhD tuition fees, and take into account that for self-funded students, tuition fees may be marginally higher in the second and third years. The good news is that whatever your field of study and preferred university, PhDs will be vastly cheaper than undertaking a taught undergraduate or postgraduate degree in the UK as an international student. Along with covering the typical cost of PhD fees, we have also outlined additional expenses and living costs you may have to budget for. Luckily, as a full-time, student you’ll never have to worry about paying council tax.

PhD fees in the UK for international students

For domestic students in the UK, the average cost of PhD tuition fees is around £4,500. However, this can rise to £20,0000 – depending on the subject. The main reason there are vast differences in the price of PhD tuition fees is the resources that research students will require; typically, STEM students pay the highest tuition fees due to resources such as tech support, servicing, and equipment. The PhD students who can expect to pay minimum fees are students looking for a doctorate title in the arts, social sciences or humanities.

Part-Time PhD Fees

If you want to study part-time, you can expect to pay 50% of the full-time fees. However, this can vary, and not all PhDs are available on a part-time basis. If you are looking to be a part-time PhD student around your work or any other responsibilities, always check with the institution where you want to study if this is viable. You will also need to check if your visa restricts part-time PhD study.

Research Support Fees

Research support fees don’t apply to every international PhD student in the UK. However, you may need to pay research support fees, which will go towards covering the cost of any specialist materials you use during your research. For students carrying out their research in a laboratory setting, these support fees are also referred to as bench fees and cover the cost of any consumables used in addition to the facilities where any research and experiments are carried out. 

Some universities will include bench and research fees in the tuition fee, while other institutions will quote them separately. Even if the PhD tuition fees aren’t all-inclusive, universities will always be 100% transparent and upfront about the costs. As the additional tuition fees can vary significantly due to the nature of the research that you are undertaking, bench fees and support fees will usually be discussed during the application process. Other universities prefer to make them available on request. Typically, where applicable, bench fees range between £1,000 – £10,000. You will only pay the higher bench fees if you are using expensive equipment and consumables; most UK universities keep the rates the same for domestic and international students.

How to Enquire about PhD Fees in the UK for International Students

To ensure that you are working with the correct figures when you’re budgeting or applying for funding for your PhD fees and living expenses, always be proactive in your search for accurate information by contacting the UK universities you are keen to study with. 

When you are getting in touch with the university, state if you are an international or EU student, and pose these questions:

• How much are the fees for the programme, and what is included/excluded in the fees?
• Are there any extra-departmental research fees, printing costs or administration fees?
• Does fieldwork incur additional costs?
• Are the bench/research support fees the same for international students?
• Are there any bursaries or scholarships available that I may be eligible for?

PhD Funding for International Students Studying in the UK

International students are eligible for many PhD scholarships in the UK; these scholarships and other funded projects are open to international students of all nationalities. Scholarships and grants can be provided by universities, government bodies and charities.

Funded PhDs for International Students

There are ample options to explore based on your field of research; to make your search for funding easier, many PhDs in the UK are advertised to domestic and international students with funding options attached. This is incredibly common for Science, Technology, Engineering and Medicine (STEM) subjects, but it isn’t unheard of for the Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities to offer the same funding options. Applying for a PhD with attached funding options isn’t worlds apart from applying for a job. If you are accepted as a candidate, you will receive a ‘salary’ in the form of tuition fees, research expenses and a grant which will go towards your living costs. If funding isn’t attached to a PhD project, you can use platforms such as FindAPhD to browse all the current projects offering funding to international students. To broaden your search, you can also use the search bar to sift through your different options. At the time of writing, FindAPhD has over 4,000 PhD projects and scholarships in the UK.

Research Council Studentships

Research Council Studentships are also frequently made available to international students in the UK looking for PhD funding. The more than generous financial support comes from UK Research and Innovation. If you receive funding from UK Research and Innovation, you will receive a monthly stipend to cover your living costs and a fee waiver. The waiver will allow you to pay the drastically reduced domestic rate instead of the PhD fees in the UK for international students. Whichever university funding you apply for, bear in mind that most funding is either provided in a bid to support widening participation or based on academic merit.

Government PhD Loans

If you aren’t eligible for a scholarship, grant, or funding from UK Research and Innovation, Government PhD loans are also available to some international students. Usually, to qualify, you will either need to be able to prove you have a settled status in the UK, be an Irish national or be part of the EU settlement scheme. These loans will cover your tuition fees and living expenses; you only need to repay the loan when you earn over the threshold amount.

Living Costs in the UK for PhD Students 

The living costs for international students in the UK will vary greatly depending on your circumstances, lifestyle and where you live. The most expensive city for living costs, excluding rent, is £894 for London, while the cheapest is £577 for Bradford – based on 2022 figures. With rent included in London, it can cost £1,309 per month if you are living off campus, or £1,237 if you are living on campus. 

How Much Does it Cost for a PhD in London?

London is renowned for its vibrant culture, history, and world-class education, making it a top choice for students pursuing higher degrees. However, it’s essential to note that London is also the most expensive city in the UK. The cost of living in the capital can be higher than in other parts of the country. While pursuing a Ph.D. in London offers incredible opportunities and access to prestigious institutions, potential students should be prepared for higher living expenses.

Additional Costs for International Students 

Your PhD fees, rent and living costs will be your greatest expenses as an international PhD student. However, there are additional expenses which you may need to account for:

• Visa Processing Fees – to apply for a visa outside of the UK, it will cost £363. If you are extending your visa or switching to a student visa, the processing fee is £490. 
• University Application Fees – these fees aren’t especially common in the UK; however, they aren’t unheard of.
• Language Tests – if you are studying your PhD in a second language, you will need proof that you possess sufficient language skills. In some instances, you will be required to sit a language test and achieve a certain score.

Top 20 Most Affordable Online Doctorate of Education (PhDs)

Educators looking for a career boost may consider a PhD in education. We rank the most affordable online PhD degree programs in education.

Key Takeaways

• There are only a handful of online PhD doctorate degree programs in education, but students can pursue EdD programs as an alternative.
• A PhD in education helps students pursue academia and field research, while EdD doctorate degree programs concentrate more on assisting students in obtaining leadership and administrative positions.
• All of the PhD and EdD online programs in education on this list are accredited, meaning students are sure to receive a high-quality online education at an affordable cost.

If you’ve ever wanted to teach in a more advanced field, you’ve probably thought about getting a PhD in education. Online doctoral degree programs could be the opportunity you are looking for.

Professionals with this esteemed degree have become college presidents, superintendents of schools, academic deans, professors, and many other positions. People pick this job path because of the progress and sense of fulfillment it offers.

However, online learning opportunities that result in a fully online PhD of education are difficult to find. Luckily, several Doctor of Education (EdD) online programs are available for working professionals who still want to obtain a doctorate degree for career advancement. Below we’ve listed 20 of the most affordable online doctoral degree programs in PhD and EdD.

Doctoral students gain essential skills that will enable them to effect good change in various educational settings.

Featured Programs

What is the difference between an online phd and an online edd doctorate degree.

The Doctor of Philosophy, or PhD, an academic title/degree, focuses on field research and strategies for helping working teachers improve their performance in the classroom. PhD degrees often allow online students to choose a focus, such as a curriculum and education, design, leadership, or administration.

An online doctor of education is a valuable professional qualification. This degree is for experienced teachers serious about advancing into leadership and administrative positions. Programs may contain broad-based academic research applications but typically center on leadership theory and practice.

The intriguing aspect of this degree is that students might discover similar employment options. Although most doctoral programs have quite particular curricula, academics and practitioners sometimes overlap in education.

Bottom Line: An online PhD in education focuses on academia and research, while an online EdD focuses on graduates moving into leadership positions within a school.

What To Expect from a Doctorate Degree in Education

Although each school has a specific curriculum for affordable online doctoral programs in education, most address the same fundamental ideas. Research, writing, and critical-thinking skills are often improved by students seeking an education doctorate. However, specific courses frequently differ by specialization or emphasis.

Qualitative and quantitative research, diversity, and educational leadership and management are a few of the most common courses of online doctorate programs in education. The program’s conclusion can be a capstone project or a traditional dissertation.

Specializations

Some institutions provide a certain educational specialization. Others offer a wide range of options for students who want to match their specialization to their professional aspirations.

Aspiring college instructors could find interest in doctoral programs with specializations in adult education, curriculum studies, or urban and multicultural education. Leadership in organizations, leadership in education, and global executive are additional popular specializations.

Internships

A requirement of many doctoral programs is an internship. Although most education doctoral applicants already have work experience in the field, doctoral internships assist students in getting ready for prestigious leadership positions in education administration or research.

Dissertation in Practice (DIP) or Capstone

A DIP or capstone requirement is frequently the final step in a doctor of education degree. The dissertation and capstone allow students to demonstrate the breadth of knowledge they received throughout a program and their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, even though they may differ in structure and delivery.

Both capstone projects and dissertations demand protracted planning and preparation over several semesters. The most typical output of a dissertation is a written research paper, which students must defend in front of an advisor panel. A capstone often consists of a final project demonstrating the student’s practical expertise in their field of study.

Are there ways to make an online PhD degree program in education more affordable?

The cost of earning a PhD in education is significant. Luckily, there are affordable online doctorate degrees in education and there are ways to make sure they are as affordable as possible.

In-state Tuition

Most colleges and universities charge more for out-of-state students, so attending college in your own state will almost always be a cheaper option. There are even some schools that offer a flat-rate tuition, which means that in-state and out-of-state students pay the same per credit cost.

Other Expenses

Earning an online doctorate in education degree as opposed to an on-campus doctorate degree can be more affordable because you will save money on expenses like housing, transportation, and certain campus fees.

Continue Working

It is common for online doctoral students in education to continue working while completing their degree program. Earning a living while going to school can ultimately reduce your dependence on student loan debt.

Financial Aid, Scholarships, Grants, and Loans

Affordable online doctorate degrees in education are possible if you are able to take advantage of financial aid, including grants, scholarships, and loans.

Check out the Federal Student Aid website for more information.

Bottom Line: An affordable online PhD in education doctoral degree or an online EdD degree is possible when you factor in things like in-state tuition, financial aid, grants, and scholarships.

Distance learning PhD Programmes in United Kingdom

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom and Britain, is a sovereign state located off the north-western coast of continental Europe.The two most famous (and oldest) universities are Oxford and Cambridge (often referred to as Oxbridge by many Britons) England also has several other world-class institutions, including several in London (notably Imperial College, the London School of Economics, University College London and King's College London, all are part of London University)

The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.

Online or distance learning refers to the use of electronic media and information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. With online learning, one can access education at any time and from any location with an available internet connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the cheapest online doctorate.

These programs typically cover tuition and other expenses for the entire duration of the program through scholarships, grants, work-study, or a combination of these. Some schools even offer a stipend for living expenses.

However, many of these programs involve on-campus attendance. The options for fully-funded online doctoral programs are much more limited.

When you buy through our links, Business Insider may earn an affiliate commission. Learn more

Taylor Swift's reign continues as she ramps up for the next leg of The Eras Tour. The singer-songwriter will kick off the European portion of her world tour in Paris in May, which will continue throughout the summer. From there, she'll return to North America to tour Canada and a few remaining US cities in the fall. If you're hoping to attend, we've compiled all of the details of The Eras Tour, including how to get Taylor Swift tour tickets.

Swift's Eras Tour has taken the world by storm since March 2023. The three-plus-hour tour features hits from each of Swift's album eras, from "Lover" to her recent Grammy Award-winning "Midnights." Each show also features surprise songs and occasional guests, so fans never quite know what they're in for. Swift will release her latest album, "The Tortured Poets Department," in April, but it's unknown if any of those songs will make their way to the tour setlist.

Getting tickets has become its own battle and many fans have waited hours in the Ticketmaster queue to hopefully snag some seats, if they could get a presale ticket code in the first place. While Swift continues to extend the tour, including new US dates, tickets remain hard to come by.

Below, we've put together a guide on everything to know about The Eras Tour, including the tour schedule, ticket purchasing details, resale ticket prices, and the concert film streaming options . You can also peruse resale vendors like StubHub and Vivid Seats at your leisure.

Taylor Swift international tour dates

The Eras Tour international dates resume on May 9 in Paris. The European tour will run until August 20 in London. UK prices are listed in pounds, and start times vary from city to city. US dates start in October and can be found under the following table.

Taylor Swift North American tour dates

The Eras tour will return to the US on October 18 in Miami. In addition to the Miami shows, Swift will perform multiple dates in New Orleans and Indianapolis. On November 14, Swift will head to Canada for several shows in Toronto and Vancouver. All North American shows start at 7 p.m. local time.

How to buy tickets for Taylor Swift's 2024 tour

Original standard tickets for Taylor Swift's 2024 sold out long ago for both international and domestic dates. All US tickets and many international tickets were sold through Ticketmaster , although select international locations used different services. 

Tickets for most dates are available on resale websites like StubHub and Vivid Seats . These are generally higher-priced than the originals, which are no longer available. Keep in mind that some countries have rules regarding reselling tickets.

How much are Taylor Swift tickets?

Ticket prices vary by date and location. International resale tickets tend to be a bit cheaper than US resale tickets. It's worth noting that some of the cheapest tickets have restricted views.

StubHub's cheapest European tickets range from $392 (Madrid, Spain, on May 29) to £978 (London, United Kingdom, on June 22). The latter is around $1,248 in USD. The lowest prices for most shows are around $450 to $1,000. On Vivid Seats , the cheapest tickets for these dates go for $549 and $683, respectively. 

When it comes to North American shows, the cheapest StubHub tickets range from $1,045 (Vancouver, Canada, on December 8) to $2,081 (Miami, Florida, on October 19). Most of the cheapest tickets are priced between $1,200 and $1,800. On Vivid Seats, the cheapest Taylor Swift tickets on these dates start at $1,133 and $2,212, respectively. The two resale vendors generally have similarly priced offerings, but this varies from show to show.

Will Taylor Swift add more dates to the Eras Tour?

Taylor Swift already added additional stops to her tour due to popular demand, including her US tour dates this fall. She also added additional dates to some of her European city stops, including bonus performances in France and the United Kingdom, among other locations. It's unknown whether Swift will end up adding even more tour dates, but by the end of the upcoming US leg she will have been touring for almost two years, so fans shouldn't be surprised if she takes a break.

March Madness 2024: How to Watch, Live Stream the NCAA Basketball Tournament Today

The second round of the NCAA tournament tips off this weekend. See which two streaming apps you need to watch every game.

The first round of March Madness, a.k.a. the Men's NCAA Basketball Tournament, is in the books with its share of upsets and standout performances. No. 14 Oakland shocked No. 3 Kentucky with sudden tourney hero  Jack Gohlke hitting 10 three-pointers , just one shy of the tournament record. No. 11 Oregon's Jermaine Couisnard dropped 40 points to oust No. 6 South Carolina. And No. 13 Yale held off No. 4 Auburn in the final seconds of a 78-76 thriller .

In the second round those three schools, along with fellow Cinderellas Duquesne, James Madison and Grand Canyon, look to continue the improbable, while North Carolina, UConn, Purdue, Houston and other top seeds try to avoid too-early exits. The winners Saturday and Sunday will advance to the Sweet Sixteen next week. 

Here's everything you need to know for this year's March Madness, from today's second-round action to the Final Four and the National Championship game. The short of it is you need only two apps, costing $22 per month combined, to stream every game of the tournament: Max (with Ads) and Paramount Plus with Showtime.

Eyeing a repeat championship, Tristen Newton and the UConn Huskies are the No. 1 seed in the East Region.

How can I watch or stream March Madness?

As in past years, the tournament will be shown across four channels: CBS, TBS, TNT and TruTV. Yep, the time has come again to find TruTV on your dial.

You can watch these channels with a cable subscription or a  live TV streaming service , but the most affordable option is signing up for a pair of streaming services for a month: Max and Paramount Plus with Showtime. If you have the cheaper Paramount Plus Essential plan, you won't be able to watch March Madness unless you step up to the pricier option. 

That said, for just $22, you can watch every March Madness game live. With the cheaper, ad-supported $10-a-month Max streaming service, you can watch the games broadcast on TBS, TNT and TruTV. And with the $12-per-month Paramount Plus with Showtime plan, you'll be able to watch the CBS games. 

You'll have to juggle between both apps, of course, but this is the cheapest way to catch all the action. 

Games on TBS, TNT and TruTV for $10 a month

Max costs $10 a month and will show March Madness games on TBS, TNT or TruTV. If you're determined to sign up for only one streaming service to watch the tournament, Max is the clear choice. Not only will it show more early round games across the three Turner-owned networks, but it will also show both Final Four games and the national championship game that will be broadcast on TBS.

Live sports on Max will soon require the $10-a-month B/R Sports add-on, but you won't need to shell out for it to watch this year's March Madness games. Warner Bros. Discovery is delaying charging customers for the add-on option until sometime after the tournament.

Read our Max review .

Paramount Plus with Showtime

Games on cbs for $12 a month.

You'll need the premium Paramount Plus with Showtime plan in order to livestream the March Madness games broadcast on CBS. It costs $12 a month, which is double the price of the non-Showtime plan. For this year's tournament, CBS will show games from the first round through the Elite Eight. 

Read our Paramount Plus review .

Which devices can I use to watch March Madness?

You'll find an app for each service to watch on an iPhone or Android phone as well as an iPad, Android tablet or Amazon Fire tablet. Max and Paramount Plus are also available on mainstream streaming platforms including Roku, Apple TV, Android TV/Google TV and Fire TV as well as smart televisions from major manufacturers LG, Samsung and Vizio. Both services are also accessible through Xbox and PlayStation game consoles.

For more specifics, check out the full list of  supported devices for Max  and  Paramount Plus .

Can I stream March Madness for free?

Go to the NCAA's  March Madness Live site  or use its  March Madness Live app  and you'll be able to watch games for free. You can watch March Madness Live on iOS and Android devices along with Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV and Xbox. The app also supports AirPlay and Chromecast.

As with most things that are free, there's a catch. Without proving you're a pay TV subscriber, you get only a three-hour preview, after which point you'll need to log in to continue watching.

Which are the top teams in college basketball this year?

Looking for help in filling out your bracket? I can offer no such assistance for a single-elimination tournament as wild and unpredictable as March Madness. 

What I can tell you is that online wagering site  FanDuel currently lists defending champion UConn as the favorite, followed by Houston and Purdue. In the next tier are Arizona, North Carolina and Tennessee. Rounding out the top 10 betting favorites are Auburn, Creighton, Marquette and Iowa State.

What's the best live TV streaming service for March Madness?

Three of the five live TV streaming services offer the four channels needed to watch every tournament game, but keep in mind that not every service carries every local network, so check each one using the links below to make sure it carries CBS in your area. 

We recommend YouTube TV to college basketball fans for its relatively low monthly charge and multi-view capability that lets you watch multiple games at once. It's also one of the three services that offer all four of the channels needed to watch every game. At $73 per month, however, it's significantly pricier than getting Max and Paramount Plus with Showtime. 

Sling TV lacks CBS but is a good, low-cost option if you don't need to watch every game of the tournament but want to be sure you can watch the Final Four and national championship game. At $40 per month, however, it costs nearly twice as much as it would to sign up for a month of Max and Paramount Plus with Showtime which would let you watch every game.

Hulu with Live TV and DirecTV Stream have every channel needed as well, but both are pricier than YouTube TV and lack features like multi-view. Fubo offers multi-view but doesn't offer the Turner networks (TNT, TBS and TruTV), making it a poor choice for March Madness.

Carries CBS, TBS, TNT and TruTV for $73 a month

YouTube TV costs $73 a month and includes CBS, TBS, TNT and TruTV. Plug in your ZIP code on its welcome page to see if CBS is available in your area. 

Not only is YouTube TV the cheapest live TV streaming service that offers all four channels for March Madness, but it's also the only service that offers multi-view so you can watch four games at once. And if there's one sporting event that cries out for multi-view, it's March Madness, especially the first two rounds when so many games are being played at the same time.

Hulu with Live TV

Carries cbs, tbs, tnt and trutv for $77 a month.

Hulu with Live TV costs $70 a month and includes CBS, TBS, TNT and TruTV. On its live news page , you can enter your ZIP code after clicking the "View channels in your area" link to see which local channels you get.

DirecTV Stream

Carries cbs, tbs, tnt and trutv for $80 a month.

DirecTV Stream's basic $80-a-month plan includes CBS, TBS, TNT and TruTV. You can use its channel lookup tool to see which local channels are available where you live. 

Read our DirecTV Stream review .

Carries TBS, TNT and TruTV for $40 a month

Sling TV's $40-a-month Blue plan includes TBS, TNT and TruTV. Sling TV is a great option if you don't need to watch every early-round game because it will show games from each round of the tournament, including both Final Four games and the national championship game.
