UNC might have been the lowest seed to make this year's Final Four, but they were also +4 favourites to progress to the 2022 title game. True to form, the Tar Heels squeezed past Duke 81-77 to set up a huge showdown with Kansas – and a possible seventh NCAA title. Only UCLA and Kentucky have won more championships.
Kansas are the only No.1 seed left in this year's tournament and four-point favourites to win their sixth national title tonight. UNC might be on a five game win-streak, but the Jayhawks have won 10 in a row, including a 81-65 victory over Villanova in the Final Four.
We don't know who will end up cutting down the nets tonight, but Kansas' David McCormack will surely dominate play. At 6ft 10in tall, the Virginia native has the physical attributes necessary to pull off monster one-handed slams. And with North Carolina’s Armando Bacot in doubt, tonight could be McCormack's night.
The stage is set for the ultimate college basketball showdown – the NCAA men's final – tonight at 9.20pm ET / 6.20pm PT. US fans can watch a Kansas vs UNC live stream with a Sling TV $10 discount (opens in new tab) or try the FuboTV 7-day free trial (opens in new tab). We'll show you how below.

Watch Kansas vs UNC from abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant Kansas vs UNC rights holders, you won't be able to use them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you’re accessing aren’t aware of what you’re doing. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN (opens in new tab) which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
(opens in new tab)How to use a VPN
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN (opens in new tab) is the one we recommend.
2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For Kansas vs UNC you may wish to choose 'USA' for Sling TV.
3. Then head over to Sling TV (opens in new tab) on your browser or device and enjoy the Kansas vs UNC live stream.
If, for whatever reason, you can't get it working, do remember that you have the comfort of a 30-day money back guarantee with ExpressVPN (opens in new tab). You could also try NordVPN (opens in new tab), which also comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, and Surfshark (opens in new tab) which offers 24 hour assistance.
