What channel are LSU baseball games on?

All SEC games (home/road) are televised on ESPN family of networks, which are ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, SECN+. All home OOC games are also found on one of these channels.

All road OOC games will usually not be covered by the above channels. This year those are La Tech, UNO, the series in Houston. LA Tech and UNO will probably be ESPN+. The Shriners classic is usually on TV in some fashion.

How can I watch on SECN+?

Games on SECN+ can be found on the ESPN app. You must download the app, and log in to the app using your cable log in. In order for this to work, the cable log in must have SECN in the cable package.

Can I watch SECN+ channels if I have ESPN+?

NO!!!!! ESPN+ is completely different from SECN+, and does not grant you access to those channels. You will however be able to watch the La Tech and UNO games using ESPN+.

I'm logged into my cable provider and still can't watch SECN+. Why?

First, check to make sure the account you are actually logged into is the correct account. Also make sure that account has access to SECN in the cable package. If this still doesn't work, some people have reported that logging out and back in has fixed it. Others have had success deleting the ESPN app and redownloading.

ESPN+ costs $5 per month.

I'm not sure what the game will be streaming on, but yes "ESPN+" is not the same as SECN+, and it costs more money.

Yes you are correct.

I purchased the bundled package of Disney+, HULU and ESPN+ it's like $15 per month but worth it. I specifically use EsPn+ for baseball season as I don't think any other lsu sports use it rarely.

I have an ESPN+ account, but only activate it for the one or two baseball games it covers each season. Just deactivate it after the game. Five bucks well spent.

ESPN+ is wellll worth the $5/mo. Never had an issue finding an LSU baseball game, basketball games, and UFC fights give a discount I believe.

It usually makes me select the game 3 times before it lets me in. It will say "not part of package" and I just keep hitting the button.

If you are in south Louisiana the game is on locally.
Channel 4 here in Lafayette, or wherever you get YURLA.

It is possible but highly unlikely, that after another 12 years of this ESPN family of channels, this impossible to grasp concept will be figured out by more LSU fans.

Highly Unlikely though

12 years have gone by and people still can't figure out how to log into ESPN with their provider credentials to watch baseball games.

Except that doesn't work for most non-conference away games. ESPN+ is a stand alone subscription.

I think that if they have never watched a game before, they should continue that streak

I got it basically for free with the Disney Hulu ESPN+ bundle. Edit: I pay for the bundle but it’s basically three for the price of two.

I want Disney Plus, I want Hulu and the bundle cost nothing extra than if I paid for Disney and Hulu separately. (So that’s why I consider I got ESPN+ for no extra cost or free because I pay for Hulu and Disney why not bundle it and get ESPN+ at no extra cost!)

One more edit: I wouldn’t pay for espn+ by itself, not worth it.

In Baton Rouge, it’s Cox channel 4/1004. The channel guide is showing it at 6:00 PM Wednesday.

I’ve been watching for 12 years and each year it changes ever so slightly. And when you hit your 60s, a slight tech change can be daunting. Try being more helpful and less like a jerk. It’ll improve your day

I'm curious if this game will be blacked out on ESPN+ in the BR area. It has been in the past when Cox Sports has coverage.

So WTF is with CST going away and then not getting the replacement in central and north Louisiana?

That’s really really shitty.
