If SECN is not an option and I live out of market, is there a way for me to watch LSU Baseball games? I apologize for the noob question, but my methods for previous seasons no longer work. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Do you not have the internet?

Most games are on SEC+ which you have to stream, or watch on phone/internet. Its not on a tv channel.

All LSU baseball games are on SEC Network + that are not on any other platform.

Except for the non conf road games (SEC Network does not have control of those), like tonight, game is on CST. I believe the games in Houston will be on another channel as well, Rantz did them last time, not sure what tv coverage will be this time.

Thanks - But don't you have to subscribe to SECN to have access to the SEC+ streams? I live in Boston, and Comcast is looking to charge me $20/mo. to upgrade. Not looking to have that discussion with the wife.

Well, I tried the espn app. It asked me for my cable provider and then told me that I do not have access to that channel. This was for the games over the weekend, which aired on SECN. I suppose I may have access to tonight's game.

Is anybody else in my situation and lives out of market for SECN and is being denied on WatchESPN...?

Tonight's game is not available due to Blackout by ESPN.

I cut the cord on cable and got Sling TV. I added the sports package, which includes the NFL, NBA, and MLB Networks, the SEC Network, and all of the regional Fox Sports networks, as well as RedZone. It was $5 for the sports package and I have the ultimate cable package for like $40. I bought an HD Antenna for local channels for $30 flat. All together. I pay $50/mo for good internet through comcast, $45/mo for Sling, and have an apple tv in one room and Roku in other rooms. Much better than spending over $200 a month for a bundle through my cable provider

If you are not subscribed to the SECN through your provider, you cannot stream the games through watch ESPN. You're kind of SOL unless you can find someone illegally streaming the game

Apparently you don't have the tier package that includes SECN otherwise you would have access to SECN+ using WatchESPN.

Only alternative I can provide you with is purchasing Sling TV during baseball season. It's an online TV streaming service and you can pay for SEC Network on it. I believe its $25 a month to get the sports package, so you'll essentially be paying $25 a month to watch LSU Baseball.

You can use your sling tv credentials to log-in to watchESPN and watch SECN+.

Sounds like you don't have the SEC package, so you won't have the game on the ESPN app.

Cox - Nola - App - shows the upcoming game ESPN3
or
Listen @ LSUsports.net/live

I see every game on my WATCH ESPN app on my phone. All you have to do is hook up on your phone via your provider (mine is Dish Network). The broadcast is pretty good.

I've heard tales of a feller who streams them on his website. Probably not kosher to link it, but maybe google can help.

ESPN3 is blacked out in NOLA for tonight's game, you have to be able to get Cox Sports.

If I'm wrong please let us know.
