6 Best Services to Watch SEC Network Live Without Cable

Co-owned by ESPN, the SEC Network covers all 21 college sports (and 1,400 events!) hosted by the Southeastern Conference every year. Most of that 24/7 coverage goes to live football and baseball matches, but the network also airs other sports, including basketball, softball, and volleyball, as well as original programs like SEC Nation, The Paul Finebaum Show, and Rally Cap. Since the channel is available nationwide, it's only fitting that it's widely available even to those who've decided to cut the cord. Below, we list all the live TV streaming services that carry the SEC Network so you don't miss a single game from the conference.

If you enjoy using the DVR option, Youtube TV is arguably the best option in the market for you: it gives you unlimited DVR storage on the Cloud (accessible from any of your devices), and it saves each of your recordings for 9 months. Also, you can share Youtube TV with up to six accounts, so if you have a big family, this is a much better option than getting a bunch of cheaper Live TV subscriptions. Youtube TV allows up to three accounts of the six to watch at the same time.

Sling TV may be an affordable live TV streaming option, but because of its limited local channel offerings, it tends to be ignored by hardcore sports fans (especially football fans) hoping to cheer for their team. Thankfully, Sling's Sports Extra bundle, which costs $11/month, adds about 10-20 more channels depending on your plan. Popular channels include NHL Network, MLB Network, NBA TV, and NFL Redzone. If you want even more concentrated content, Sling TV also has a football season pass that allows users to pre-pay $219 for Sling TV Orange and Blue + Sports Extra, which lets you watch all the major league games on ESPN, ABC, NBC, and Fox (though notably no CBS).

Fubo Deluxe includes all the entertainment, lifestyle, news, and local channels Fubo Elite has, but it adds MGM+ and the add-ons Sports Plus and International Sports Plus in the mix. With this plan, you can access NFL Redzone and out-of-network NCAA games via ACC Network and SEC Network, plus channels like Willow TV, ESPN Deportes, and GolTV Spanish. Along with unlimited cloud DVR and simultaneous streams, Fubo Deluxe has even more 4k content and a whopping total of 307 channels. If you get Fubo Elite with these add-ons separately, you'd have to pay about $93/month for everything, which is $17 more than if you get Fubo Deluxe for $110/month. It's a bundle worth considering if you put sports, especially international sports, and blockbusters on a premium.
