ABC and LSU - South Carolina

Get YouTube TV

If you have ESPN+ that should be a way around this.

Nope. ESPN+ only works through your TV provider. If your TV provider isn’t televising the game, then you can’t watch it on ESPN+.

And… drop Direct TV and go with YouTube TV.

I admittedly don't know the intricacies of the shite show that is cable/streaming these days.

But I know for a fact that I have DirecTV and when the channel went out before our game I flipped over to AppleTV and put on ESPN+ and watched the whole thing.

well that poster is 100000% incorrect. ESPN+ has absolutely 0 to do with your cable provider.

ESPN+ is its own thing, you pay for monthly or annually. It only carries select games/sports. NOT EVERYTHING ON ESPN/ABC is on ESPN+ (in fact most are not)

the poster may have been confusing ESPN+ with the ESPN APP, which does also show live games of the events that are televised on ABC/ESPN etc. But that has literally nothing to do with ESPN+.

so while I have no idea if the LSU/South Carolina game is on ESPN+ or not. that poster was completely wrong.

fwiw the LSU game against Nicholls is on ESPN+ this weekend, which anyone with an ESPN+ account can watch. because it is in no way tied to your cable company

this is patently false.

Only partially false. You can get ESPN+ without a provider but you won’t be able to watch their TV networks on the ESPN+ platform without a provider. So the LSU South Carolina game would be a no go if he’s using Directv to login and they haven’t settled with Disney.

ETA..I see you explained it further in your follow up post

that’s the app, not ESPN+. theyre separate.

ESPN App does/can use a cable provider login and essentially just uses to watch ESPN cable channels on your phone/tablet.

ESPN+ is its own thing and only shows a handful of selected sports stuff/sports.

just looked it up and the Nicholls game and South Carolina game are both scheduled to be on ESPN+, so Directv LSU fans can hold out a couple more weeks

Right we’re on the same page. Even though I’ve got a provider, I like to watch ESPN networks through + because it seems to be a higher quality picture and there is no delay.

I do wonder though if the schedule you’re seeing could possibly mean ESPN + only IF you do what I’m describing above using a provider…meaning the SC game, not Nicholls. Just saying that because I have a friend that didn’t have a provider of any kind and he could never get ESPN televised games through ESPN +.

Get ABC, and lots of other channels, for free.

Obviously the whole ESPN AND EPSN+ scenario is clear as mud.


Judging from this board, there are eight different opinions on it.
