Here's your one-stop guide to catching every bone-crushing tackle, every heart-stopping touchdown, and every questionable referee call from the comfort of your own couch.
How To Watch The Michigan Washington Game |
Channel Surfing? We Got You Covered
Forget deciphering ancient cable hieroglyphics! The game will be gracing the fine folks at ESPN, so if you have cable or a satellite TV subscription that includes ESPN, you're good to go. Just grab your favorite jersey, settle in with a vat of chili (because let's be honest, that's what college football is all about), and prepare to witness history...or at least some really good passing plays.
Tip: Reread tricky sentences for clarity.
Cutting the Cord? No Problem!
Hey there, modern-day media maverick! Ditched cable in favor of the streaming revolution? Don't worry, you can still catch the game. Here are a few of your streaming squad options, as long as they carry ESPN:
- Sling TV: Think of it as the "� la carte" option for cable channels. You only pay for what you want, which in this case, is probably just ESPN (and maybe that weird cooking channel at 2 am).
- YouTube TV: Basically cable, but for millennials (and anyone else who likes a good YouTube video). Just remember, unlike a good YouTube video, you can't fast forward through commercials here.
- Hulu with Live TV: This is like the whole cable enchilada, with a side of Hulu. Great if you want ESPN and access to a bunch of other channels. Just be prepared for some serious channel surfing.
- FuboTV: Another great all-in-one option, especially for sports fans. Just make sure you don't get lost in all the sports channels and forget about the actual game!
Bonus Round: Catching the Game on the Go
Can't be tethered to the TV? No worries! Most of these streaming services also offer apps so you can catch the game on your phone, tablet, or laptop. Just be warned, public Wi-Fi can be a fickle beast, so make sure you have a data plan that can handle the excitement (and all those celebratory victory tweets).
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.
