Getty Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the Tigers are seeking back to back national championships in 2019.
The cheapest streaming service that includes every channel that will have a Clemson football game is Hulu With Live TV. For more info about Hulu With Live TV and other live stream options, read on below.
The defending national champion Clemson Tigers enter the 2019 season with a preseason No. 1 ranking, a potential Heisman and future No. 1 pick under center, and all the pieces necessary to make a run at back-to-back titles.
In 2019, Clemson football games will be televised on either ACC Network, ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU. If you don’t have cable, you can watch Clemson 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
Clemson Football Channels Included: ACC Network, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ABC (ABC is 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 Clemson 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 every Clemson game 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 the 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.
YouTube TV
Clemson Football Channels Included: ACC Network, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ABC (ABC is live in select markets)
Price: $49.99 per month
YouTube TV also includes every channel that will have Clemson games, but it’s more expensive than Hulu With Live TV and doesn’t include the huge on-demand TV/movie library, so the value isn’t quite as good.
You can sign up for YouTube TV right here, and you can then watch Clemson 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.
PlayStation Vue
Clemson Football Channels Included: ESPN (“Access” bundle and above), ESPN2 (“Access” bundle and above), ESPNU (“Core” bundle and above), ACC Network (“Core” bundle and above), ABC (live in select markets)
Price: $49.99 per month for “Access”; $54.99 for “Core”
PS Vue — which doesn’t require an actual PlayStation console to sign up or watch — offers four different live-TV channel packages. The upper three (“Core”, “Elite” and “Ultra”) will provide every channel that will have Clemson games this season, but it’s more expensive than both Hulu With Live TV and YouTube TV.
You can sign up for PS Vue right here, and you can then watch Clemson games on your computer via the PS Vue website, or on your phone (Android and iPhone supported), tablet, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, PlayStation (3 or 4), or other supported device via the PS Vue 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, PS Vue comes with cloud DVR.
2019 Clemson Football Preview
Coming off their second title in three seasons, the Tigers enter the year ranked No. 1 in the AP poll for the first time in program history. It’s is a good gauge of how much hype is surrounding Clemson as they look for a second consecutive championship. If they pull off the feat, the Tigers would be the first team not named Alabama to complete the task since Nebraska did it 25 years ago.
Under Dabo Swinney, the Tigers have become a lasting power in college football and ride into the season on a 15-game winning streak and eight straight double-digit victory seasons. Since losing to Alabama in the 2015 title game, the Tigers are 55-4.
In last year’s National Championship, Clemson roasted Alabama 44-16 — a game Nick Saban won’t soon forget. There was a narrative that the Crimson Tide were tired from the grind of a tough SEC schedule, but Swinney isn’t buying it.
“People get amnesia,” Swinney told ESPN. “A lot of folks make a lot of bold claims early in the year and then they forget, and there’s a lot of excuses when it doesn’t go that way. Five, six or seven years ago, the rhetoric was that an ACC team is not going to win a national championship because they don’t play anybody during the season, so then they get to the postseason and are just not prepared for the big, bad boys.
“Well, now, they’ve flipped it around, and the only reason we’re winning is because we don’t play anybody in the ACC. … You don’t just come out of a soft conference and haven’t played anybody and all of a sudden go out and beat Notre Dame and Alabama. I mean, give me a break. Now that happens in other conferences. I’ve seen that, people that get propped up, and then I watch the tape and go, ‘They ain’t played what we’ve played.'”
The Tigers return a heap of talent on the offensive side of the ball in quarterback Trevor Lawrence, wide receiver Justyn Ross and running back Travis Etienne.
The hallmark of Clemson’s defense last year was a dominant defensive line. The Tigers lost their top five defensive linemen to the NFL but have plenty of new talent ready to step in.
“It’s a major work in progress,” Swinney said during the ACC Football Kickoff. “The good news is we’ve got a lot of guys with hard hats on.”
The College Football Playoff semifinals are set for Dec. 28. One semifinal is the Peach Bowl from Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The other semifinal is the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona.
The national championship will be played on Jan. 13, 2020 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
