Anyone know if it’s also airing on ESPN or somewhere else? Or I guess maybe streaming? Thanks.

Go to WatchESPN and you'll be able to watch it there.

If it’s on ABC and you have a cable provider you can stream it using the espn app.

I am not 100 percent sure how that works if DirectTv is your provider and they are in a dispute tho.

Pretty sure that's every year. I fell for it once I remember back in the day when I had DTV.

It will be on DTV just like every other time they do this stupid shite.

Usually this is true, but last year those with Directv weren't able to watch any games on Fox because they never came to an agreement.

not sure of what game it was but a season opener a few years back was on abc and dish had a dispute with abc and we had to drive back to BR to watch bc it was with NOLA carrier and not BR. DISH hasn't had NBC in almost a year which hasn't really bothered me but I will miss the Ryder cup

I would call Direct and ask for a discount

DirecTV will send you an outside antenna for free if you bitch about ABC being off air. They did this for me a few years ago.

If it's on ABC, directv cannot black it out i thought. I thought they had to provide local channels.

I have zero understanding why people subscribe to Dish or DirectTV. Is it ridiculously cheap or what? Get Hulu or YouTube.

You can also use an HD antenna. Or just plug in a coax cable to the TV and leave it unplugged on the other end. It works as an antenna too. Just string it up in the air and find ABC through channel search. It will pick it up.

Same for NBC and Fox. Not sure the point in keeping them any longer. I have DirectTV Stream and loved it until they dispute all the sports channels.

Also, if Yiu try and steam it on an app using your tv provider it will black it out on the app as well due to the contract dispute

Because not everyone has access to quality / high speed internet.

im not very tech savy but i am about to make the change. Originally got it bc i hated cox cable and had issues with no tv after hurricanes. It's annoying as hell though that almost every thunderstorm disrupts the signal. And just the package I have is $160 a month...originally around $90. satellite providers suck now!

Is there contract expiring between now and kickoff? ABC is working for me. Not trying to take up for DTV I’m furious with them. I haven’t had Fox for a while and haven’t had NBC since middle of last football season. They have til Saturday morning to fix this shite or I’m switching to YouTube tv.
