With this post being pinned, I figured I would try to keep it updated all year with how to watch "today's" game.


March 15-17. LSU at MSU.
Friday: 6:00pm SECN+
Saturday: 4:00pm SECN
Sunday: 1:00pm SECN+


SECN+: this is streaming only through the ESPN app or ESPN.com/watch, it is not a channel on your television. Log into the ESPN app or ESPN.com/watch using your TV provider credentials (TV provider can be cable, satellite, or internet tv like YouTube TV or Hulu Live). Your TV package must include SEC Network as one of its channels in order to have access to SECN+. If you don't have a TV provider that includes SEC Network, technically you will not be able to access the game. However, you can log in with someone else's cable credentials or find "less than legal" streams in various places (Won't promote those, but read the comments).

SECNetwork: these channels are accessed through your cable provider. Watch through your cable box (or app). An additional option is to stream these through the ESPN app by logging in with your credentials from your cable provider (or someone else’s cable provider). However, your cable subscription must include these channels in order to stream them. You can log in with someone else's cable credentials or find "less than legal" streams in various places (Won't promote those, but read the comments).


Full season info:

LSU has announced that games this year will be on ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC network, SECN+, ESPN+, and Space City Home Network.

For the purposes of this post, the term “cable provider” means any service where you pay to watch a package of channels that includes ESPN (cox, direct tv, YouTube tv, Hulu live, sling, etc.)

Quick note … the ESPN app houses 2 services. There is the cable based subscription (channels you get through cable) that is free as long as you have cable, and there is ESPN+ which is a separate subscription with a monthly fee.

If the game is on…
ESPN2, ESPNU, or SECNetwork: these channels are accessed through your cable provider. Watch through your cable box (or app). An additional option is to stream these through the ESPN app by logging in with your credentials from your cable provider (or someone else’s cable provider. However, your cable subscription must include these channels in order to stream them. You can log in with someone else's cable credentials or find "less than legal" streams in various places (Won't promote those, but read the comments).

SECN+: this is streaming only through the ESPN app or ESPN.com/watch, it is not a channel on your television. Log into the ESPN app or ESPN.com/watch using your TV provider credentials (TV provider can be cable, satellite, or internet tv like YouTube TV or Hulu Live). Your TV package must include SEC Network as one of its channels in order to have access to SECN+. If you don't have a TV provider that includes SEC Network, technically you will not be able to access the game. However, you can log in with someone else's cable credentials or find "less than legal" streams in various places (Won't promote those, but read the comments).

ESPN+: this is streaming only through the ESPN app and ESPN.com/watch and is not available as a normal TV channel. It is a paid subscription service that cannot be accessed with your cable credentials. You must sign up for (and pay for) ESPN+ to get it. Sign up here If you already Hulu and Disney plus, there is a discount. However, you can log in with someone else's ESPN+ account credentials or find "less than legal" streams in various places (Won't promote those, but read the comments).

Final note: at times games will say they are on one of the listed channels above and also ESPN+. This means if you have access to that channel through the cable provider, you can watch it free of charge and it is also available on ESPN+. They do this so that people who don’t pay for cable or people whose cable subscription does not include that channel have an option to watch by subscribing to ESPN+.

My advice: for the games on SECN+ and ESPN+ games (the ones that are streaming only) if your TV doesn’t include the ESPN app go get a $30 Roku for your TV and download the ESPN app on that.

ETA: This is how to watch the games legally

We get these questions every year, even though SECN+ has been around for 10 years now. To be fair, the difference between SECN+ and ESPN+ is not intuitive, so thank you for laying it out.

And that, my friend, is why what you do is so useful. Any time I’m not able to watch a game I’m incessantly refreshing your feed.

That's how BPB got started in the first place

I don't know the exact origins, but I do know it's meant to help people who don't have other ways to follow the game. So I'm proud to be the current BPB analyst.

Appreciated OP.

However, this will not prevent a dozen posts prior to each game asking how to watch the game. It’s inevitable.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’ve filled in for you 3-4 times and once or twice for GMorgan before you. shite is hard work and tough to keep up with! I have to have the game on TV, typing on my laptop, and the live stats on my iPad in case I miss something. It’s a freaking production. Much respect my friend.

The ESPN app rarely works for me when I need it to. So I use the alternative to watch the games.

Even when I'm watching the game, I still have either my laptop or phone up so I can follow all of the intellectual discussions as well as the rally charms used during the games.

More than likely an internet issue on your end.

What I'm more concerned with is some of the game times of these early season games. Fri 2/16 - 2pm, Mon 2/19 - 2pm, Thurs 2/22 - 2pm, Fri 2/23 - 2pm, Wed 3/13 - 1pm.
How the hell do they expect me to get any work done?? Because I WILL be watching LSU baseball while sitting at my desk. Guess I'll close my door and pretend I'm on a Teams meeting.

You provide great insight into what it's like to live in Omaha most of the year, when the CWS isn't there. I couldn't deal with the cold weather, so good luck.

The good thing about the schedule this season is that only 4 games and the Astros Foundation Classic are not on SECN, SECN+, ESPN, or ESPN2 which most cable providers and streaming service providers include with their base packages.

Only the games at Rice and at Southeastern are on ESPN+ since the SEC team is not the host.

Also the Friday game at Tennessee and the Saturday game vs Texas A&M are on ESPNU which may or may not be part of base cable and streaming packages.
