South Carolina football fans who cannot attend tonight’s Garnet and Black spring game can still take in all of the action at 7 p.m. by streaming the game via SEC Network Plus.

Here is the direct link to watch the game.

If you already have a cable/satellite/streaming provider that has SEC Network (pretty much all of the packages do now), then you do not need to sign up for ESPN+. Save your $6.99 and just do the following. Most of you probably have a TV provider anyway, since you’ll need it to watch the other games this season.

You simply need to use the ESPN App on a streaming device (Firestick, Roku, AppleTV, etc.) and log in with your cable/satellite/streaming username and password and you will automatically have access.

This is the same process you used to watch Carolina baseball throughout the last few seasons.

Roy Philpott and Hutson Mason will be on the call with Ryan McGee in the booth.
