How to watch today’s game
From Wes Mitchell
SEC Network Plus and ESPN Plus will stream all of Saturday night’s action.
Viewers with a satellite, cable, or live TV streaming package that already includes the SEC Network, will not need to have an ESPN Plus subscription to watch the game.
Those Viewers can watch the game Saturday without any additional charges by simply logging in to the ESPN app on their streaming device, smart TV, or web browser with the username and password from their provider.

The SEC Network (and thus the SEC Network Plus) is available on most major live TV providers including DIRECTV, DISH Network, fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, Verizon Fios, Xfinity TV, YouTube TV and more.

Spectrum customers, however, will be impacted by the ongoing negotiations between Charter (Spectrum) and Disney (ESPN) and will not be able to watch the game on SEC Network Plus (unless the situation is resolved by Saturday night).
Those customers will be able to watch the matchup by subscribing to ESPN Plus or by switching to a live TV provider that does have ESPN’s channels.
The ESPN App is available on Android, Amazon Fire TV, iOS, Chromecast, Roku, Samsung Smart TVs, Apple TV, Kindle Fire, Android TV, PS4, PS5, XBox and Oculus — and on Watch ESPN on a browser. But again users will need to log in with a subscription service that has SEC Network or subscribe to ESPN Plus to watch.
