How and when to watch the UCLA vs. LSU game without cable
While many cable packages include ABC, it's easy to watch the game if ABC isn't included in your cable TV subscription, or if you don't have cable at all. Your best options for watching are below. Note that streaming options require an internet provider.
Sling: The most cost-effective way to stream college football
If you don't have cable TV that includes ABC, one of the most cost-effective ways to stream college football this season is through a subscription to Sling. We suggest leveling up your coverage to the Orange + Blue with Sports Extra tier to get more NFL and college football games this fall.
The Orange + Blue plan regularly costs $60 per month, but the streamer currently offers a $25 off promotion for your first month, so you'll pay just $35. The Orange + Blue with Sports Extra plan is $50 for your first month and $75 per month after. The Sports Extra add-on features 18 channels, including NFL Redzone, ESPNU, SEC Network, Big 10 Network and ACC Network, making it ideal for pro and college football fans.
The streamer is also currently offering big savings on four months of the Orange + Blue tier plus the Sports Extra plan when you prepay for the Sling Season Pass. The plan costs $219, reduced from $300.
Note: Because Sling does not carry CBS, Sling subscribers will want to add Paramount+ to their bundle. (Paramount+, CBS and CBS Essentials are all subsidiaries of Paramount Global.)
