How and when to watch Western Michigan vs Ohio State without cable

Although BTN is included in many cable packages, it is easy to watch the game if BTN is not in your Cable TV subscriptionor if you don’t have cable at all. Your best options for watching are below. (For streaming options, a Internet provider.)

Sling TV: The Most Affordable Way to Stream College Football

If you don’t have cable TV with BTN, one of the most cost-effective ways to stream college football this season is a Sling TV subscription. We recommend upgrading your coverage to the Orange + Blue with Sports Extra tier to get more NFL and college football games this fall.

The Orange + Blue plan regularly costs $60 per month, but the streamer is currently running a promotion with $25 off your first month, so you’ll only pay $35. The Orange + Blue plan with Sports Extra costs $50 for your first month and $75 per month after that. The Sports Extra add-on includes 18 channels, including NFL Redzone, ESPNU, SEC Network, Big 10 Network, and ACC Network, making it ideal for pro and college football fans.

The streamer is also currently offering big savings on four months of the Orange + Blue tier as well as the Sports Extra plan if you pay for the Sling TV Season Pass up front. The plan costs $219, down from $300.

Note: Since Sling TV does not carry CBS, Sling subscribers will want to add Paramount+ to their package. (Paramount+ and CBS Essentials are both subsidiaries of Paramount Global.)

Top features of the Sling TV Orange + Blue plan:

• Sling TV is our first choice for streaming major sporting events such as NASCAR.
• A total of 52 channels are available to watch, including local partner channels ESPN, NBC, Fox and ABC (where available).
• You get access to most local NFL games and nationally broadcast games at the lowest price.
