Will the Maine High School Basketball Tournament Be Televised?

A good portion of this year's tournament will have television coverage. This is a nice option for those who can't make it to the games.

The Maine Public Maine High School Basketball Facebook page posted where the early rounds of the tournament can be streamed.

While Maine Public Broadcasting doesn't offer streaming until the state finals, they do list some of the options for fans. Be aware, there will be a fee to watch the quarterfinals and semifinals.

Will The Maine Basketball Finals Be Free To Watch?

For those not looking to pay, Maine Public TV does have you covered for the state final games.

The majority of the games can be seen on the Maine Public Broadcasting channel, with some on their World Channel. You can reference this page to see if you have them.

For those without access to these channels, every championship game will also be streamed on Maine Public's website.

It's wonderful to have so many options to watch one of Maine's premier events, especially with many obstacles keeping people from making it to the games.

Best of luck to all those competing in this year's tournament.
