USC enters the season with a talented roster and familiar title aspirations but will need a big year to get head coach Clay Helton off the hot seat.

In 2021, USC games will be televised on either ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, Fox, Fox Sports 1, NBC or Pac-12 Network.

But if you don’t have cable, here are some different ways you can watch a live stream of every USC football game online:

USC 2021 Season Preview

USC came up just short of the program’s first Pac-12 title since 2017 last year, but watched Oregon collect the hardware after a condensed season.

Entering a new year, USC skipper Clay Helton is on the hot seat. He has a 45-23 record as the head man at USC, and while that’s good, it’s not up to the championship expectations the Trojans have set every season.

“What a great opportunity for not only us as coaches but really our student-athletes,” Helton said during Pac-12 media days. “I look at our coaches, how much experience we have in this conference, all the experiences you’ve garnered as coaches. As student-athletes, they only get one college experience. How hard they fought through last season, the adversity, the trials and tribulations, to be able to even be here today, be with our media resources. I see the smiles on their faces. To have a little bit of normalcy is exciting. It’s exciting to start a new year. It’s exciting to be able to have an off-season campaign with strength and conditioning, spring training, with summer workouts, with a fall training camp getting ready to happen.”

Kedon Slovis is the trigger man for the Trojans at quarterback. Slovis is on a variety of watch lists and is a top 10 contender for the Heisman, per USA Today. “I think the expectations for Kedon [Slovis] are always going to be high. What we do [is], we put extremely high expectations on him,” USC offensive coordinator Graham Harrell said. “There is a lot of responsibility on him, but that comes with the job,” said Harrell. “There is no reason for him to not play at a really high level. We hold him to a high standard, and our expectations for him are high, and his expectations for himself are high.”
