How to watch the Oregon vs. Stanford game without cable
The Oregon Ducks are looking to keep the ball rolling on their win streak following a blowout win over Colorado last weekend. But Stanford doesn't plan on making that easy.
On their last trip to Stanford, the Ducks came in ranked No. 3 in the country, yet ultimately lost 31-24 to the unranked Cardinal football team. In other words, it's anyone's game. Will Oregon get its first 5-0 start since 2013 or will the Cardinals spoil their fun with an unexpected upset? Here's how you can tune into the action live at Stanford Stadium.
Kickoff time and network
Stanford hosts Oregon at home at Stanford Stadium in Stanford, California on Sept. 30 at 6:30 p.m. ET. You can catch the action live on Pac-12 Network if you have cable. Cord cutters will need a live cable TV alternative in order to tune into the game, but not every live TV streamer offers Pac-12 Network. Your options are pretty limited, but here are the best ones.
Best streaming services for the Oregon vs. Stanford football game
Getting rid of cable is a great way to save money, but you've likely realized by now that it makes watching live sports pretty difficult — particularly watching live college football games. If you want to watch your favorite teams live, you're going to need a live TV streaming service. But here's the thing: not all live TV streamers are created equal. And in the instance of the Stanford and Oregon matchup, your options are slim.
Since the game will be televised on Pac-12 Network, your only options to watch live will be through FuboTV or Sling TV. Below, we've broken down the pros and cons of each to help you decide.
Most comprehensive live TV streaming service: FuboTV
FuboTV is not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but you do get what you pay for. The cable alternative offers a comprehensive lineup of over 175 channels, particularly aimed at live sports streaming. You'll also get three concurrent streams and up to 250 hours of cloud DVR storage to record any game you miss out on live. The Pro tier will run you $74.99/month, while the Elite tier goes for $84.99/month, but you can test things out first with a seven-day free trial. Pro tip: use your trial to stream the Oregon vs. Stanford game for free. You can decide after the game whether you want to keep your subscription or cancel.
Most affordable live TV streaming service: Sling TV (Orange package + Sports Extra)
On the other end of the spectrum, there's Sling TV. It's much more affordable than FuboTV, but it also offers a much smaller library of channels in comparison. We particularly love that Sling lets you tweak your channel options to suit your needs — plus the ability to record up to 50 hours of live TV for no extra fee is pretty nice. You'll need the Orange package ($40/month) plus the Sports Extra add-on ($11/month) in order to watch Pac-12 Network and tune into the Oregon-Stanford matchup live. That comes to $51/month, but Sling offers a discount for your first month of service. Sign up for just $31/month for your first month, then decide whether you want to keep your subscription or cancel.
