The cheapest streaming service that includes every channel that will have an Auburn 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 disappointing 8-5 season last year, the Auburn Tigers enter the 2019 campaign hoping that true freshman quarterback Bo Nix will help ignite a turnaround.
In 2019, Auburn football games will be televised on either ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network, ABC or CBS. If you don’t have cable, you can watch Auburn 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
Auburn Football Channels Included: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network, ABC, CBS (ABC and CBS are live in select markets)
Price: $44.99 per month
Not only is this the cheapest streaming service that includes every channel that will have an Auburn 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 Auburn 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 ABC is not available in your market, you can also watch ABC games via ESPN.com or the ESPN app without having to sign in to a cable provider as long as you have a participating Internet Service Provider (ISP).
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
Auburn 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 doesn’t include ABC, it will cost more than Hulu With Live TV if you want to add DVR, it lacks the entertainment value of 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 Auburn 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.
ABC isn’t included, but you can watch ABC games via ESPN.com or the ESPN app without having to sign in to a cable provider as long as you have a participating Internet Service Provider (ISP).
CBS also isn’t included, but you can watch those 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
Auburn Football Channels Included: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network, ABC, CBS (ABC and CBS are live in select markets)
Price: $49.99 per month
YouTube TV also includes every channel that will have Auburn games, but it’s 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 Auburn 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 ABC is not available in your market, you can also watch ABC games via ESPN.com or the ESPN app without having to sign in to a cable provider as long as you have a participating Internet Service Provider (ISP).
If you can’t watch live, YouTube TV comes with included DVR.
2019 Auburn Football Preview
The Tigers went 8-5 last season, ending their campaign with a 63-14 beatdown of Purdue in the Music City Bowl.
This year, they’ll be tasked with overcoming one of college football’s toughest schedules, including six games against opponents ranked in the preseason top 12.
Auburn opens their season against No. 11 Oregon, in the only Week 1 game featuring ranked opponents.
“The good thing for me is I have experience and perspective,” head coach Gus Malzahn told the Tiger Talk radio show, according to 247Sports. “I’ve been here in 2010 when we won the national championship. I was here in 2013 when we came about that close, and ’17 we were closer than it really came out.
“If you have a chance, that’s good. Now, our schedule is what it is. We’re looking at it as a great opportunity. We’re not looking at it as a negative. We have to win close games. We’ve got to have guys step up, we have to stay healthy at the right positions, but it’s really exciting now going into the season.”
Eleven days before the tilt with Oregon, Malzahn announced true freshman Bo Nix had claimed the team’s starting quarterback gig in a competition with redshirt freshman Joey Gatewood.
“We have two quarterbacks we think we can win with,” Malzahn said, according to The Auburn Plainsman. “But at the end of the day Bo Nix won the competition. He did a good job with his attention to detail and everything that goes with that. … Our team was very excited.”
The coach added: “[Nix] is not your normal freshman. He earned the starting quarterback job. He had a really good fall camp and there’s a lot of intangibles that go with that. At the end of the day the consistency … gives us a good chance to be successful.”
The last true freshman to start Auburn’s first game of a season under center was Travis Tidwell, who led the nation in total offense while helming the Tigers offense in 1946.
Nix’s father Patrick Nix played quarterback at Auburn from 1992-95.
“Well, obviously, it’s a dream come true,” Bo Nix said, per The Auburn Plainsman. “I’ve always wanted to play quarterback at Auburn. It’s a goal of mine that I’ve had for a long, long time; as far as I can remember. All the way back to throwing the football in the backyard with my dad, I wanted to play quarterback at Auburn. So it was just an awesome moment. You honestly couldn’t write it any better.”
