Looking to watch Tennessee vs. NC State today? Read on. Below, we’ve put together a quick guide on how to watch Tennessee vs. NC State without cable, including ways to stream Tennessee vs. NC State online for free.
How to Watch Tennessee vs. NC State Online
Tennessee vs. NC State is airing live on ABC, but cord-cutters can livestream the game online using any cable streaming service that carries the channel, or with ESPN+. If you’re going the live TV streaming route, we recommend Sling, fubo, or Hulu + Live TV (ABC is currently blacked out on DirecTV Stream).
Hulu + Live TV and fubo offer one major benefit over Sling: free trials, which you can use to stream Tennessee vs. NC State for free. Hulu + Live TV’s free trial lasts three days, and fubo’s free trial lasts seven days. After the free trial, both streamers cost about $80 a month. Right now, however, fubo is offering $30 off your first month of service.
Fans can also livestream Tennessee vs. NC State online with ESPN+, which costs just $10.99 a month. Sadly, though, ESPN+ doesn’t offer a free trial.
Sling is a much more affordable cable streaming option (in the long run) with packages starting at just $40 a month. However, Sling doesn’t offer a free trial right now. You’ll need Sling’s Blue plan to stream Tennessee vs. NC State on ABC, which starts at $40 a month ($45 in some regions). Sling is also running a deal right now that gets you $25 off your first month.
Stream Tennessee vs. NC State for Free
If you’re looking to watch Tennessee vs. NC State for free, be sure to take advantage of a free trial from either fubo or Hulu + Live TV. Either one will let you stream Tennessee vs. NC State for free, as long as you cancel before the trial ends.
