Top-seeded South Carolina have gone a jaw-dropping 78-1 over the past two seasons, that sole defeat coming at this stage last year. To say that Dawn Staley hasn't been given due credit would be a huge understatement.

She had to rebuild the entire starting team from scratch, yet they're once again on the verge of becoming the first team since 2016 to win the National Championship with a perfect record, ousting NC State in the previous round.

Iowa and Naismith Player of the Year award, Caitlin Clark, narrowly defeated fan-favorite UConn to make it to the final round. There's no denying that everyone outside of South Carolina will be pulling for Clark and the Haweyes to have an epic ending to the already miraculous story.

Here's everything you need to know to watch the women's Final Four championship game online, plus the full schedule, TV channels, and all the live stream information, with or without cable.

In the U.S., the championship game of the women's Final Four is being shown on ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN Plus.

If you've already cut the cord and don't have a cable package, you can get the channels through an OTT cable TV alternative.

Sling TV is the option we'd recommend. It includes ESPN and ESPN2 in its Orange plan, with prices starting from $40/month and your first month half-price. Better yet, Sling Orange also includes TBS, which is showing every remaining men's March Madness game.

Watch women's Final Four from anywhere

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching basketball on your subscriptions?

You can still watch the women's Final Four championship game live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for hoops fans away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best on the market:

Sky Sports has the right to March Madness in the U.K. and has confirmed that it will be showing the women's Final Four games. 

If you already have a Sky subscription that doesn't include Sports, you'll need to pay £18/month to add those channels. 

Whichever package you go for, you'll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, so long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.

Sky Glass is another option. This gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar and without the need for a dish. Prices start at £14/month for the TV, plus a Sky sub on top of that.

If you don't want to shell out for a full Sky subscription, you could also consider its Now Sports streaming service. This gives you 24-hour access for £11.99 or month-long access for £34.99. 

All sounds great, right? But if you're not in the UK, you can still follow the women's Final Four live streams by using one of the best VPN services, such as NordVPN
