This season, the Oklahoma Sooners move into the SEC conference, leaving the Big 12 behind. The team, led by head coach Brent Venables, had a decent season last year — finishing 10-3 — though it wasn’t as strong as they’re known to be. In their pivot to the SEC, the team is hoping to power into a higher ranking than they finished with last year (No. 15 in the AP poll). OU fans can find everything they need to know about tuning in for the whole season in our guide ahead. The SEC is a stacked conference, and it promises to be an exciting season that you won’t want to miss. Here’s how to watch games this season with top live TV streaming services.
The Sooners’ football season starts on Aug. 30 with the game against Temple and closes on November 30 against the LSU Tigers. The team has a few big games during the season, including Oct. 12’s matchup against the Texas Longhorns. See the full schedule below.

DIRECTV STREAM is a well-rounded streaming service with everything you need for Sooners games this season. The streamer includes all the channels that will air Oklahoma football games this season, including ABC, Fox, FS1, ESPN, ESPN2, SEC Network and SEC Network Plus. However, to get SEC Network built into your plan, you’ll want to opt for the Choice package or higher — it’s not part of the Entertainment plan automatically.
Elsewhere in the DIRECTV STREAM plans, you’ll find plenty of other sports channels, like Big Ten Network and ACC Network so you can enjoy more college football games. Plus, you’ll get NBA TV, NFL Network, Golf Channel and many more. DIRECTV STREAM also includes unlimited cloud DVR to bank your recordings for later.
With Hulu + Live TV, you won’t just get all the channels you need for football season, but you’ll also get so much more. Yes, Hulu + Live TV includes ABC, Fox, FS1, ESPN, ESPN2, SEC Network and SEC Network Plus (among plenty of other sports channels), but it also includes a massive on-demand library of movies and TV shows, which isn’t something you’ll find on any other streaming service. Included within the on-demand library are plenty of blockbuster favorites, indie darlings and Hulu Originals.
Hulu + Live TV also includes unlimited cloud DVR, but that’s not all! A subscription also includes a subscription to Disney Plus and ESPN Plus. This means more TV shows, more movies, more sports commentary and more entertainment.
Sling TV is the most budget-friendly way to keep up with the Oklahoma Sooners this fall. This customizable streaming service allows you to pick and choose what channels you get, though if you want all the channels for Sooners games, you’ll want to opt for the Sling Orange & Blue plan with the Sports Extra add-on. Local channels aren’t available in all markets, but otherwise, customers can get all the channels with the combo plan and the add-on.
Sling TV’s DVR offering is quite slim compared to all the other streamers. You only get 50 hours of cloud DVR. You do have the option to upgrade to 200 hours for $5 per month, though. But considering that Sling TV prides itself on being a budget-friendly streamer, you are getting a more streamlined service, and that comes across in all its offerings.
Fubo is a sports fan’s paradise, loaded with channels. For Oklahoma football fans in particular, you’ll find everything for the season, including ABC, Fox, FS1, ESPN, ESPN2, SEC Network and SEC Network Plus. SEC Network is only included if you pick Elite, though, so just keep that in mind when choosing your plan. Your other option is to pick the Pro plan and do an add-on that includes the channel.
Fubo also offers beIN SPORTS, ESPNEWS, Lacrosse TV, Tennis Channel and so many more. This streaming service has probably the most robust channel package of all of the streaming services and the most offerings for sports-lovers. Fubo also includes unlimited cloud DVR recording, and your DVR recordings are stored for 9 months, which is a plus.
YouTube TV’s got it all: ABC, Fox, FS1, ESPN, ESPN2, SEC Network and SEC Network Plus, so you won’t miss anything during Sooners football season. Once football season ends, though, there’s plenty else to watch, including NBA TV, Golf Channel, Motor Trend and so many more channels.
You’ll also get unlimited cloud DVR included in your subscription service, as well as Key Plays View, Stats View and Fantasy View — all of which enhance your sports-watching experience, as they give you more information and details during your games.
Oklahoma games will be streaming this season on ABC, Fox, FS1, ESPN, ESPN2 and SEC Network. These channels can be found on DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV.
Yes, you may be able to watch OU games on ESPN Plus this season. ESPN Plus airs college football games throughout the season, though the whole schedule hasn’t been set in place yet.
Yes, you can watch Oklahoma football with a Hulu + Live TV subscription. Hulu + Live TV carries ABC, Fox, FS1, ESPN, ESPN2 and SEC Network, all of which carry the games.
