How to watch Arkansas vs. LSU without cable
The LSU Tigers host the Arkansas Razorbacks in Baton Rouge this weekend in one of the under-the-radar games during what's sure to be an exciting week four of college football. The 2-1 LSU Tigers are coming off an impressive 41-14 victory against Mississippi State in the SEC opener last week. Meanwhile, the 2-1 Arkansas Razorbacks are ready for redemption after losing to BYU 38-31 in week three. It's anyone's ball game.
Can't make it out to Death Valley? Here's what you need to know so you can tune into the action live from home.
Kickoff time and network
Arkansas takes on #12 LSU at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday Sept. 23. The game will be televised on ESPN for those with cable access, but if you recently got rid of your cable contract, there are still plenty of ways to tune in live.
Best streaming services for Arkansas vs. LSU football matchup
Recently cut the cord on cable? You'll need a dedicated streaming service (or more) to watch live college football games for the 2023-2024 season — including the Arkansas vs. LSU matchup this weekend. Since the matchup is televised on ESPN, yet not on its dedicated streaming service ESPN+, you'll need a cable replacement or live TV streaming service to watch it live. Below, we've helped you out with the best streaming deals for the Razorbacks vs. Tigers game.
Best overall: YouTube TV
While a live TV streaming service costs more than a dedicated streamer like ESPN+ or Paramount+, it serves as a better long-term option for tuning into college football games. Plus, in the instance of the Arkansas vs. LSU game, it's the only way to watch live. YouTube TV is our favorite live TV streaming service for its massive catalog of over 100 live TV channels, its unlimited DVR space, and generous six household accounts with three simultaneous streams. Not only will you be able to stream the Arkansas vs. LSU game live on ESPN, but also many other games throughout the rest of the 2023-2024 season on ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPNews, SEC Network, The CW, and more. YouTube TV offers viewers 20 minutes of commitment-free viewing before launching into a free trial that generally lasts up to 14 days (though it varies). You can cancel before your trial is up or choose to keep your subscription for an introductory rate of $54.99/month for three months ($72.99/month thereafter).
Runner-up live TV streaming service: FuboTV
FuboTV is "your ticket to a constant drip-feed of live sports from around the world," according to Mashable shopping reporter Leah Stodart. It's one of our favorite live TV streamers for sports in particular, as it has a more comprehensive lineup of channels than YouTube TV — including ESPN, ESPN 2, Fox, FS1, FS2, NBC, NFL Network, Pac-12 Network, SEC Network, Big Ten Network, ACC Network, CBS Sports Network, and more. It's a bit pricier than YouTube TV and has a less attractive introductory offer. Although, you can still test the waters for seven days, which gives you time to watch the Razorbacks take on the Tigers for free. After your seven-day trial, you'll have to dish out $74.99/month for the Pro tier or $84.99/month for the Elite tier.
Most affordable live TV streaming service: Sling TV (Orange package)
While it doesn't offer a free trial, Sling TV is the most affordable live TV streaming service by a long shot. Though it offers a smaller library of channels overall compared to the two options above, it's still a solid choice for streaming college football. To watch the Arkansas vs. LSU game, you'll need the Orange package (which includes ESPN), which costs just $20 for your first month. That's 50% off the usual monthly cost. After your first month, the price will jump back up to $40/month, so be sure to cancel if you don't want to be charged full price.
