And, since DIRECTV STREAM plans include unlimited cloud DVR storage, you'll never have to worry about missing a game, either. The DVR offers you an extra nine months to watch any recordings before they’re automatically deleted.

Watch Washington State football with Hulu + Live TV

Watch Washington State football with Sling TV

Sling TV exists as an excellent option for fans who only need the occasional Washington State football game. Sling Blue offers Fox in select areas (check your ZIP code to see if it’s available in your region) and FS1, but otherwise very little for college football fans – or sports fans in general. Sling Blue’s channel list includes NFL Network, news networks like CNN and VICE and some entertainment channels like TBS and Nick Jr. Sling Orange can get sports fans ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN3.

Even the DVR offering is comparatively limited – Sling TV plans include 50 hours of DVR storage with the option to increase to 200 for an extra monthly fee. Unlike other streaming services, however, the Sling TV DVR won’t automatically delete your recordings after nine months.

You’ll even find niche sports networks like Swerve Combat and Chess TV. Note that a fee may be applied for any packages that include regional sports networks.

With so many sports networks to keep on top of, you might worry about missing some of the live content you’re after. Luckily, Fubo plans all include a cloud DVR that, like DIRECTV STREAM, offers unlimited recording and holds recorded content for 9 months.
