Which service do you need?
If you already get your local ABC station through cable or a live TV service, open the channel you normally use. The Saturday quarterfinal was on CBS and Paramount+, but the league lists different outlets for Sunday. A Paramount+ subscription on its own is not the Sunday option listed by the league. League TV schedule
If you plan to watch in the ESPN app, the broadcaster lists these two matches on ESPN Unlimited. ESPN lists the standalone monthly plan at $31.99 in the US. Check your existing plan before buying it for two games: a live TV package that already carries local ABC will get you the English broadcasts, and a package with ESPN Deportes gives you the Spanish broadcasts.
