How to watch LSU Tigers football

Where to watch LSU football

LSU Tigers games can be found on the networks that broadcast Southeastern Conference football — ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and SEC Network — and the ESPN Plus streaming service. Most major live TV streaming options carry all of those networks.

Watch LSU football with DIRECTV STREAM

DIRECTV STREAM is an “everything but the kitchen sink” streaming option. Every network you need for LSU football games (ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and SEC Network) is available in the Choice plan or higher. You’ll also get channels like FS1, Fox Sports 2 (FS2), MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network and even more for sports fans.

And if you live with a news or entertainment junkie, DIRECTV STREAM has plenty more to offer, like MTV, MTV2, FX, Comedy Central and more, alongside news networks like CNN, BBC News and Fox News, to name a few. With so many channels to choose from, it’s almost guaranteed you won’t be able to watch everything you want live. Luckily, DIRECTV STREAM includes unlimited Cloud DVR storage.

Watch LSU football with Hulu + Live TV

While it might not have been designed specifically with sports fans in mind, Hulu + Live TV does have a lot for sports fans to smile about – especially LSU football fans. With Hulu + Live TV, you’ll get ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and SEC Network included, so LSU Tigers fans are taken care of in the base package. 

Most importantly, though, Hulu + Live TV is the only service that includes every TV and streaming option you’ll need to watch LSU football in one bundle. The Disney bundle includes Hulu + Live TV, Disney Plus and ESPN Plus, the latter of which is a streaming service that carries some LSU games that can’t be watched on TV. So if you’re an LSU completist, you’ll need ESPN Plus anyway, and Hulu + Live TV includes it at no extra cost, making this an elite option for Tigers fans.

With Hulu + Live TV, you’ll get access to Hulu’s complete on-demand streaming library as well as unlimited DVR storage, so you’ll never run out of things to watch. 

Watch LSU football with Sling TV 

Sling TV offers everything an LSU football fan needs for a low price. Additionally, Sling TV carries all the other networks you’ll need to watch LSU. ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN3 are included in the Sling Orange plan. ABC is not available in every region — you’ll have to check your ZIP code to see if it’s available in your area. Fortunately, ESPN3 carries a simulcast of every game broadcast on ABC, so you might not even miss the network. To get ESPNU and SEC Network, you’ll need to add the Sports Extra. 

If you have to step away in the middle of a game, Sling TV plans include 50 hours of Cloud DVR storage. You can upgrade to 200 hours of storage for an extra monthly fee. While other services might offer more channels and more DVR storage, Sling TV is generally the most budget-friendly option for at-home streaming. Considering that it still gets you almost everything you need to catch every televised LSU game, there’s a lot of value to be found here. 

Watch LSU football with Fubo

Fubo is a sports-centric streaming service that’s practically tailor-made for LSU Tigers fans. The base Essential plan includes access to ABC, ESPN and ESPN2. Depending on your location, the Essential plan may also give you access to SEC Network. SEC Network is also available in the Sports Lite, Extra and Sports Plus add-ons if it isn't included in your regular channel lineup. The highest-tier Elite plan includes ESPNU. 

Fubo’s channel lineup includes more sports networks than you can shake a pom-pom at, including FS1, CBS Sports Network and NFL Network. It also has news networks like Fox News. There’s even something for the kids – Disney XD, Disney Junior, Disney Channel and a slew of Nickelodeon options like Nicktoons and TeenNick. Like DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo includes unlimited Cloud DVR storage, so you can make the most of the lengthy channel list. 

Watch LSU football with YouTube TV

Last but certainly not least (especially once we dive into the channels it offers), we have YouTube TV. YouTube TV can help LSU fans get ahold of every network that broadcasts LSU football games – ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and SEC Network.

Outside of those channels, YouTube TV offers a remarkably well-rounded selection. Subscribers will find channels from CNN to Cartoon Network, CBS Sports Network to FX and FS1 to TNT. Like most other options on our list, YouTube TV comes with unlimited DVR storage.
