It's a highly-anticipated SEC Championship rematch in Tuscaloosa this weekend that will see the Bulldogs attempt to pull off a win against the Crimson Tide. If you're scrambling to tune in, we've got you covered. Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about where to watch Georgia vs. Alabama, including cable and live streaming options.
The two teams last played in the bombshell SEC Championship game in December last year, which saw Georgia fall to Alabama 24-27 and lose out on a shot at the Rose Bowl. Georgia had gone into the game with an undefeated regular season, so the loss to Alabama was seen as an upset to some, despite the fact that the Crimson Tide historically perform better than the Bulldogs in their head-to-heads. Alabama went on to lose the Rose Bowl 20-27 to Michigan, who later won their 10th National Championship.
Georgia enters the game at no. 2 this year with a 3-0 record. At no. 4, Alabama also brings a 3-0 win streak to the game. Georgia trails no. 1 seed Texas and Alabama is behind no. 3 Michigan.
Below is a full suite of live streaming options for today's game. Plus, we'll show you how to tune in while traveling away from home. Don't forget to bookmark our how to watch college football streaming guide for info on other upcoming games.
What channel is Georgia vs. Alabama on?
The Georgia vs. Alabama game is scheduled to kick off on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC in the US. ABC is included in most major cable plans and over-the-air antenna offerings, but there are several ways to live stream the game as well, which we'll dig into below.
Where to watch Georgia vs. Alabama in the US
ESPN+ is your cheapest possible streaming option today. The service carries select ABC games, including today's Georgia vs. Alabama game, in addition to select ESPN offerings. While ESPN+ doesn't offer a direct live stream of any network, it's a great streaming service for college football fans. Subscriptions start at $11/month or $110/year. It's not a bad time to lock in an annual subscription since ESPN+ plans to raise its prices in October.
You can also check out a live TV package, which offers a constant live stream of ABC and several other live channels. These services — including Sling TV, Fubo, and DirecTV Stream — are month-to-month cable alternatives. Sling TV is the cheapest of these options, but its local channel coverage varies from region to region, so you should ensure that you're in an area that can get ABC before subscribing. Sling's Blue plan offers local networks and about 40+ other channels for 40/month, but you can get your first month for just $15 right now.
Fubo and DirecTV Stream offer broad ABC coverage throughout the US, in addition to tons of other channels, like ESPN, CBS, and more. Fubo starts at $80/month and carries 100+ channels (with a seven-day free trial), while DirecTV Stream plans begin at $80/month and offer 90+ channels (with a five-day free trial). We dig into specifics for both in our best sports streaming services guide, but either service will help you watch today's game on ABC and several other college football events.
