"How do I watch baseball this season"
Posted on 2/15/23 at 11:07 am

There are 56 scheduled regular season games at the moment.
Sorry for late edit here guys, this one is my fault regarding ESPN+ access:
There are 2 games on ESPN+. So 2/56 games must be accessed through ESPN+, which is $9.99/mo on its own. Not much value here, but it is how you watch either of the 2 games that are on ESPN+.
There are 38 games on the SEC Network+, 8 games on SEC Network and 4 more on ESPN2/ESPNU. You have to have a cable/streaming tv subscription to watch these. ESPN+ does NOT give you access to watch these streaming on its own. So 50/56 games you need a cable/streaming tv subscription with ESPN/SECN included. You can also watch these through Watch ESPN, but need the cable/streaming tv package with SEC Network, ESPN2/ESPNU included or else you wont be able to access them through WatchESPN/ESPN+.
The Round rock classic 3 games is partnered with D1 Baseball. You have to BUY a day pass or weekend pass from D1 baseball to stream it. A day pass is $9.95, a weekend pass is $24.95.
The LSU @ Texas game is ONLY available on the LHN, so you need that through a cable/streaming package to get it.
Bottom line is you need a cable/streaming tv package that includes SECN/ESPN networks if you want to watch 50/56 games. There are 2 more games requiring ESPN+ which is $9.99/mo and the round rock classic through D1baseball streaming for $25 for all 3 games or $21 after a coupon code mentioned in this thread.
If you dont have a cable/streaming tv package with ESPN networks/SECN, I can recommend youtubetv. I've had it for a few years now and its been great. They are running a deal on it right now for $54.99/mo for first 3 months for new customers, otherwise it will be the normal $64.99/mo price. If someone has a cheaper way to get ESPN networks and SECN, please post in the thread, I've just happened to use youtubetv for a while now and think it's really nice. To watch the SECN+ games you would just log into the watchESPN app with your youtubetv credentials to watch those games.
A slightly cheaper way to get this is through Sling.
- Get the Sling Orange package for $40/mo, first month will be only $20.
- Add the sports extra package for $11/mo.
- Your first month will be just $31, then the subsequent months will be $51.
This includes all the ESPN networks, SEC Network and even the LHN (for LSU @ Texas game) which is not offered on youtubetv. So this is a slightly cheaper route and includes LHN to cover every game this year outside the 2 ESPN+ games and Round Rock Classic.

someone help me out if you can also access ESPN+ programming with ESPN in your cable/streaming lineup, not 100% sure there.
ESPN+ is a separate subscription service outside of your cable subscription. Many people have it as part of a Disney+ and Hulu bundle but if you don't, I think it's about $5 or $6 a month.
I find it reasonable due to the amount of baseball, basketball, and soccer games I watch on it, but if you don't see the same value you can cancel it right after we play our last game on there. You may need to re-up for regionals and supers though.
ETA: Round Rock is being carried on streaming by D1Baseball.

Fixed the OP now based on this
SECN+ I know you can access via ESPN+ or just having SECN on your cable/streaming package.
ESPN+ you need an ESPN+ sub to get to, having ESPN in your cable/streaming tv package wont do it.
Updated round rock price gouge

I have the SEC network through YoutubeTV. So I will be able to stream the 40/56 games on WatchESPN at no additional charge to me?

Yes. On your ESPN app you will need to log in through your cable provider (YouTubeTV in this case) for it to register.
My suggestion would be to find a random SEC sporting event today or tomorrow that isn't on linear TV and try to watch it to work out the kinks before Friday. Softball is probably the safest bet right now.

I don't think D1's price is bad, plus code LSUKRR gets it down to around $21. So, you pay about $7 per game for LSU. I will watch all 6 games, so it's less than $4 per game.

What's weird is that a YouTube TV subscription will ALSO give you access to SECN+ stuff on the ESPN app, but YouTube TV apparently doesn't carry SECN+ in their channel lineup. So, while I cannot watch SECN+ from within YouTubeTV, I can watch from within ESPN if I log in with my YouTubeTV credentials. Geaux figure.

These are not the same. SEC Network+ is basically SEC Network alternative channel. You can watch this through the ESPN app logged in through you cable/TV provider. ESPN+ is what requires a subscription.

SECN+ isnt an actual TV channel...so no you will not find it on YouTubeTv...nor any other cable provider....however if you have access to SEC Network thru a cable provider or YT, you can access SECN+ thru the ESPN app.....
So in other words everyone who can watch SEC Network can use the app to watch SECN+

What I don't understand is how DISH has several alternate channels listed on 404 but none of them have anything on them. All I see is the main one.

Can we get this pinned??

get an ESPN+ subscription for $9.99/mo
Posted on 2/15/23 at 2:03 pm to thunderbird1100
We are only on year 8 of the SEC Network. I get how people haven’t been able to figure out how to watch the baseball games by now.

Are SEC Network+ games on ESPN+?

They are on the same app.
As far as whether you can access the SECN+ games with only an ESPN+ subscription, I'm not sure.
I've never been able to test that because I have SECN through my cable provider.
ETA: But there is still time to test it before Friday if you have the app but don't have SECN through cable.

So if you have nothing right now and just want to watch 40/56 games, get an ESPN+ subscription for $9.99/mo (Can cancel any time). You will be required to have a cable/streaming tv package with ESPN/SECN to watch the other 13 games on there....and then you need another $25 to fork out to D1baseball to watch the 3 games in the round rock classic.
This is not accurate
ESPN+ doesn’t give you access to SECN+. Having a cable subscription (COX, DirectTV, YouTube TV, etc.) that carries SEC Network will give you access to SECN+.

You cannot access SECN+ with just an ESPN subscription
