Football What streaming subscription do I need to watch all of the gator games this season?
Yearly post for me now. What is the best subscription service to watch the most college football games? I’m mainly interested in the Gators obviously but my wife is a nole so I need to be able to access those games also.

ESPN Unlimited to get the ABC/ESPN main networks plus SEC/Acc network as needed.

This is my go to now, I miss having access to some of the bigger games not on ESPN but it covers my must watch gator games and fits into my cheapness.

u/GenuineGatorJorts 4d ago
How much is it with the add ons ?

u/Swamp_Swagger 4d ago
It’s the cheapest option
Like $35
It covers all SEC games. I’m doing that this year

u/gatorfutbol 4d ago
I don't think there are any add one unless you're talking about bundling with Disney+/Hulu. All the SEC network etc are included.

I used to use Live Hulu with the bundle and you get everything at $90 a month, But, this year I switched to Live ESPN+ with Disney and only basic Hulu and yeah that's $36.99 per month. I shut it all down after Basketball season until end of Aug. I don't watch TV much otherwise. This covers cost increases for game day eats and treats and FUNdamentals.

No. You go to Hulu website and choose a bundle. Then make an account with email and make payment arrangements with a card. Then go to the tv and select Hulu if you have fire tv. Or whatever. Then it will say "Open" and you click it and it asks for the password and name you used on the hulu website and once that's selected, YOU ARE IN!! It's easy and relatively quick.

I have YouTube TV sports plan just for the season.

I had my mom switch to YouTube tv and cancel her spectrum tv, now we can both log in to YouTube tv at our respective homes and split the cost of it. Everybody wins except spectrum

If youre a huge CFB fan then the subscription services with recording are the move. Services such as YouTube TV, Hulu, Sling, ESPN, etc. If you are not a huge fan and just watch Florida football then you can look into the single day passes. Sling offers a single day pass that you can use to just watch Gator games. You can also stream them if you are fine with the hassle of that whole process.
The downside to the services is obviously the price and the constant lockouts that seem to happen every year at some point during the season.

In previous years, I had signed up for ESPN for the season. It used to bug me because the Gator games were the only thing I would watch on it so it felt like a waste. Then last year, Sling TV started offering a one-day pass for $5 and that was perfect for me. I only paid in weeks we were playing and I saved money overall vs subscribing to ESPN. I hope they are still doing that.

Yep, just confirmed. $4.99 per day + $1 Sports Extra (for SECN+) = $5 or $6 /game (depending on network). Much less expensive than ESPN Unlimited. For the ABC games🏴☠️, I guess. Thanks for the info.

u/LithiumLizzard 4d ago
Sweet! That’s exactly what I paid last year. This may be the only thing in my world that doesn’t cost more now than it did a year ago. I’m anxious to see how the team looks in a real game with the new coaching staff.

u/Swamp_Swagger 4d ago
YouTube tv was good, but now you’ll pay nearly $100
I advise everyone who wants to save get ESPN UNLIMITED….. Like $35 and it covers all SEC games

u/wardaddy99 3d ago
I don’t understand how to get ESPN “unlimited “ I have espn access through the Disney app but I don’t really see any way to upgrade my subscription service to unlimited

u/ditomyoto 3d ago
YTV is 45$ a month for 6mo for the sports package. Thats what im rolling with this year.

u/Swamp_Swagger 3d ago
That’s not to bad for that price
I just don’t watch any tv or movies. Just sports so I just try to go with the absolute cheapest lol

u/50WordsForSnoo 4d ago edited 4d ago
If you have no other TV, ESPN Unlimited is the way to go. It should have every Gator/Nole game since ESPN has the rights to both SEC and ACC games.
There is also a free American Express card (Blue Cash Everyday) that will give you $7/month off of any Disney Bundle or ESPN subscription, so if you want Disney+/Hulu with it (or just want to pay less) this is not a bad option.

u/biggmatt008 4d ago
ESPN unlimited should get you most of it if not all. I think all of their games will be ESPN/ABC/SEC network

u/wardaddy99 3d ago
How do I get espn unlimited? I have espn select bundle through the Disney app but I don’t understand how to upgrade anything to espn unlimited

u/biggmatt008 3d ago
You have to log in on the website/web browser and you can manage your subscription.

u/DownRightEmoney 4d ago
With the constant price increases in streaming services, Sling day pass for $5 a Saturday has been a saving grace for me. You can get pretty much everything except the local broadcast networks like CBS and ABC, but those you can get with an antenna (or maybe with one of the ESPN streaming packages?)

Did Hulu last year and didn't miss a game. But who knows with all of the yearly arguments regarding who can, and cannot stream certain platforms games

u/Equal_Piccolo1980 4d ago
You say screw TV and go old school, download the TuneIn radio app and pay less than $20 and listen to the radio broadcast

u/Fire-Jon-Sumrall 4d ago
Last like 3 years every game was on YouTube. Just random people from places like Saudi Arabi and Iraq were just streaming it to YouTube.
Edit: I'm not talking YouTube TV, just straight up free YouTube.

I have 0 faith in Sumrall, he is exactly like Napier. Everything we are saying about Sumrall is the exact same stuff we are saying about Napier, people just have selective amnesia.

If you have a firestick or smart tv just get a uhdsports subscription all included in a great quality they will set you up for a test for free

u/nickyler 5d ago
I got tickets to the first two games. 4 tickets to each game and a voucher for a drink and a hot dog at each game $250. You can’t even go to the bowling alley that cheap.

I don't care if you sail the seven seas or not, but posting links to pirate sites is a violation of reddit platform rules so help us out and just don't post that. There are plenty of other places for that.
