The base package is all you need

We added ESPN Unlimited to it, and watch everything LSU.


ETA: I think Pride is right, now that I think about it. I think we only added unlimited when Youtube was dropped and they couldn't negotiate a settlement on price with Disney. Once that got resolved, we dropped it. Sorry.

Yep. YouTubeTV comes with SEC Network, so just also download the ESPN app and log into that with your YTV credentials to access SECN+ for baseball games and cupcake football games not shown on their regular channels.

Base package with sec network. Like others have said, espn+ & secn+ allows you to stream all the games on your tv. As long as you have good internet the picture is perfect.

You actually don’t even need to subscribe to espn+ but I like to have the ability to watch all the smaller school games throughout the year.

ESPN+ is like 10ish bucks a month, it’s not the unlimited package

Also YouTube tv lets you do a 4 channel split screen for anything! Absolutely HUGE for March madness & busy college football weekends! Probably my favorite thing about having it

Yes. Just add the espn app to your tv, login with your YouTube tv account & you are good to go.

I dont think many know youtube tv just changed their packages very very recently, its not just one pay for all subscription any more.

They now have just a "Sports" tier for $54.99/mo (new users) which includes ESPN/SECN and will get you access to SECN+ on watch ESPN app since you have ESPN family of networks through a tv provider

ESPN+ is the only thing you wont have with that, which is separate.

YouTube TV gives you almost all of the LSU sports.
ESPN+ gives you the rest. I have this through Verizon’s Disney Bundle but you can get a standalone subscription

Yeah but beginning this year, for some reason, It says I don’t have that channel in my package. I have to log out of YouTube TV and log back in before every game. Pain in the arse !!

I haven't looked at the schedule this year, but in the past they split up baseball so some games were only on ESPN+. It wasn't many, but there were a few here and there. Maybe that has changed? But YoutubeTV will soon include ESPN unlimited or whatever they are calling it so it will be a nonissue

I think the only one this year was the ULL game last week.

This isn't a youtube tv thing. That situation would be no different no matter what provider you have.

The only things you will miss are non SEC games that are on the road. Like last weeks ULL game. in that case you can just add ESPN plus for time of that game then cancel it.

No

But it still isn’t available as a plan despite the fact that they keep advertising its available now.

I’ve had YouTube tv for years now but I only used it to watch sports. Now that they have the espn unlimited option I cancelled YouTube tv for $85/month and got espn unlimited $14.99/month. Unlimited has every single game I care to watch.
