Best streaming services for Arkansas vs. Alabama football game

Abandoning traditional cable or satellite TV can save money, but to be able to watch college football, you’ll need to choose a streaming service. To check out the Alabama vs. Arkansas Razorbacks football game on ESPN, here are your best streaming options. 

Our top pick: YouTube TV

YouTube TV offers more than 100 live channels, six household accounts, three simultaneous streams, and unlimited DVR space. One of those 100 live channels is ESPN, so you’ll be able to watch the Alabama vs. Arkansas Razorbacks game on YouTube TV. 

Additional YouTube TV channels include ABC, ACC Network, Big Ten Network, CBS, CBS Sports Network, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, Fox, FS1, FS2, NBC, NBCSN, NFL Network, SEC Network, and The CW. 

YouTube TV offers 20 minutes of viewing with no commitment. The service also currently offers a three-week free trial. After concluding the free trial, there is a three-month introductory rate of $52.99/month, and after the introductory period, the service costs $72.99/month. 

Runner-up: FuboTV

The downside of FuboTV is that the service is more expensive with a less appealing introductory offer than YouTube TV. FuboTV has only a seven-day free trial period. The upside, it offers more than 250 channels of live TV and the option to watch on 10 screens at once.

College football fans can get most of the channels they need through FuboTV at $74.99/month, and ESPN is included in that pro tier for aspiring Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Alabama football viewers. 

FuboTV’s sports channel offerings include ABC, ACC Network, Big Ten Network, CBS, CBS Sports Network, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, Fox, FS1, FS2, Golf Network, Marquee Sports Network, Monumental Sports, NBC, NBCSN, NFL Network, Pac-12 Network, SEC Network, and The CW. 

Most affordable: Sling TV

The cost is lower for Sling TV, but it also comes with fewer channels. For $55/month, you get 46 channels from Sling TV (there is a $27.50 rate for the first month). Those 46 channels include most of the staples that college football fans need – including ESPN to watch the Alabama vs. Arkansas Razorbacks football game. 

If you’re only getting Sling TV for the Alabama vs. Arkansas game, you could even get just its basic Orange Plan that includes ESPN. That comes at $20 for the first month and $40 for subsequent months. 

Sling TV’s sports channel offerings include ABC, ACC Network, Big Ten Network, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNews, ESPNU, Fox, FS1, FS2, NBC, NFL Network, and SEC Network.
