The cheapest streaming service that includes every Florida football game is Hulu With Live TV. For more info about Hulu With Live TV and other live stream options, read on below.
After a promising start to the Dan Mullen Era last year, the Florida Gators enter the 2019 season with a Top-10 ranking and high expectations.
In 2019, Florida football games will be televised on either ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network or CBS. If you don’t have cable, you can watch Florida games live on your computer, phone, Roku, Fire TV Stick, Xbox One, PS4 or other streaming device via one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:
Hulu With Live TV
Florida Football Channels Included: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network, CBS (live in select markets)
Price: $44.99 per month
Not only is this the cheapest streaming service that includes every channel that will have a Florida football game this season, but Hulu With Live TV also comes with Hulu’s extensive Netflix-like on-demand library of TV shows and movies.
You can sign up for Hulu with Live TV right here, and you can then watch Florida games live on your computer via the Hulu website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Echo Show, or other streaming device via the Hulu app.
If you can’t watch a game live, Hulu With Live TV comes with 50 hours of cloud DVR space, as well as the option to upgrade to “Enhanced Cloud DVR,” which gives you 200 hours of space and the ability to fast-forward through commercials.
Sling TV & CBS All Access
Florida Football Channels Included: ESPN (Sling Orange), ESPN2 (Sling Orange), ESPNU (Sports Extra add-on), SEC Network (Sports Extra add-on), CBS (Amazon Prime’s CBS Channel or CBS All-Access)
Price: $25 per month for Sling Orange; $10 per month for Sports Extra add-on; $5.99 per month for Prime’s CBS Channel or CBS All-Access
This option is $41 per month all together, but it’s my second choice because it will cost more than Hulu With Live TV if you want DVR, plus it doesn’t come with Hulu’s on-demand library and there’s the extra hassle of needing to use two different streaming services, as Sling TV is the cheapest option for the ESPN channels and SEC Network but doesn’t include CBS.
You can sign up for Sling TV right here, and you can then watch the Florida games that are on the ESPN channels or SEC Network live on your computer via the Sling TV website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, Xbox One or other streaming device via the Sling TV app.
If you can’t watch live, you can get 50 hours of cloud DVR storage for an additional $5 per month.
Then, you can watch the CBS games through either Amazon Prime’s CBS Channel or CBS All-Access:
If you have Amazon Prime or want to start a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime, you can watch all live and on-demand CBS content via the CBS All-Access Amazon Channel, which costs $5.99 per month and comes with a 7-day free trial.
Once you’re signed up for both Amazon Prime and the CBS channel, you can then watch a live stream of the CBS games on your computer via the Amazon website, or you can watch on your phone (Android and iPhone compatible), tablet, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Fire TV Stick, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or other streaming device via the Amazon Video app.
This is ultimately the same as the Amazon Prime option, only you’re watching through CBS’ digital platform rather than Amazon’s.
You can start a free 7-day trial right here, and then you can watch a live stream of the CBS games on your computer via the CBS website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone compatible), tablet, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or other streaming device via the CBS app.
YouTube TV
Florida Football Channels Included: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network, CBS (live in select markets)
Price: $49.99 per month
YouTube TV also includes every channel that will have Florida games, but it comes in more expensive than Hulu With Live TV and doesn’t include the huge on-demand TV/movie library.
You can sign up for YouTube TV right here, and you can then watch Florida games live on your computer via the YouTube website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Apple TV, Chromecast, Xbox One or other compatible streaming device via the YouTube app.
If you can’t watch live, YouTube TV comes with included DVR.
2019 Florida Football Preview
After going through four different head coaches (one interim) since the start of 2013, Florida appeared to finally find their man last year. In Dan Mullen’s first year at the helm, the Gators began the season unranked but went 10-3 and won their last four games, including a 41-15 throttling of Michigan in the Peach Bowl to finish at a season-high No. 7.
Now, Florida enters 2019 with high expectations, as they stand No. 8 in the preseason poll. That’s their highest preseason ranking since they were No. 4 in Urban Meyer’s last year in 2010.
Leading the way is redshirt junior quarterback Feleipe Franks. After an inconsistent 2017 season under Jim McElwain and Randy Shannon, Franks threw for 2,457 yards, 24 touchdowns and just six interceptions last year, adding seven scores on the ground.
“I think as the year went on, he understood what his abilities were and he decided to use all of his talents,” Mullen said. “I think when he bought in to using all of his skill set to play, and not trying to limit himself or not trying to worry really about what everybody else thought, he was going to be a better player, and he did that. I think he started to block out all of the outside noise, all of the other opinions.”
Defensively, the Gators lost three players to the NFL draft (linebackers Jachai Polite and Vosean Joseph, safety Chauncey Gardner) but still return eight starters from a playmaking defense that finished the year 15th in America in sack percentage and 18th in takeaways per game.
If the Gators can get past Miami in the opener, they could very well be 5-0 heading into a four-game stretch against Auburn, LSU, South Carolina and Georgia that will likely make or break their season.
Ultimately, catching Georgia in the SEC East may still be too tall of a task, but getting double-digit wins in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2009 is certainly an attainable goal.
