The LSU Tigers are traveling to Missouri this weekend to engage in spirited athletic competition with fellow SEC members the Missouri Tigers. Huzzah!
Here’s how the Tigers match up: LSU is ranked 23, with a middling 3-2 record for the season. Missouri is ranked 21 and are undefeated so far this season. The betting line sees Missouri as a 6.5-point underdog (or maybe undercat) but that’s a thin line in college ball, so it’s anyone’s game. Here’s how you can watch it:
Where to watch LSU (3-2) vs. Missouri (5-0)
When: Noon ET, Saturday, Oct. 7
Where: Faurot Field at Memorial Stadium, Columbia, Mo.
Where to stream: ESPN
The best place to stream the LSU vs. Missouri game is on YouTube TV (just barely)
The LSU vs. Missouri game is high-profile enough that you won’t have to chase down ESPN 3 to see it. It’s being shown on ESPN’s main channel, so it’s widely watchable on every major TV streaming services and cable provider.
I’d pick streaming it on YouTube TV of all the choices, mainly because YouTube has a lot of college football available for a competitive price, offers some fairly nice discounts for new users, and is the streaming home of NFL Sunday Ticket. But for this game, any TV streaming service works.
The major streaming services’ sports packages are close when it comes to college football. Fubo has, it seems, more total games than anyone else, but it’s more expensive. Sling is cheaper than the competition, but its pricing structure is Byzantine and its channel selection is the slimmest. Hulu + Live TV is solid overall, as is DirecTV Stream. They all show almost all of the same games.
The only scenario where one platform would be a must-have over the others is if you’re into a lower-profile team, and you want to see every game it plays, instead of almost every game. In that case, you have to drill down fairly far to choose the right streamer. Check out our guide to watching college football without cable if you want to take a deeper dive.
