It’s the Third Saturday in October, which means it’s time for the annual SEC clash between the Tennessee Volunteers and the Alabama Crimson Tide. This year’s game will be played at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, AL and will likely have major implications for which SEC teams will eventually advance to the college football playoffs. (A more in-depth preview of this weekend’s game is available here.)
Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET, and the game airs on ABC and will stream on ESPN unlimited. Here’s how to watch the Tennessee vs. Alabama game and what to know about how to watch the entire NCAA football season.

How to watch the Tennessee vs. Alabama game:
Date: Saturday, Oct. 18
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
TV Channel: ABC, ESPN3
Streaming: ESPN unlimited, DirecTV, Fubo, and more
Where to watch the Tennessee vs. Alabama game on TV:
You can watch coverage of this week’s Tennessee vs. Alabama game starting at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, Oct. 18.
Where to watch the Tennessee vs. Alabama game without cable:
You can tune into the Tennessee vs. Alabama game on ABC as part of ESPN on ABC and on ESPN3. ABC and ESPN3 are available on streaming platforms, including DirecTV, Fubo, and YouTubeTV, but for the most comprehensive college football coverage, you can also watch this game and hundreds more this season on the ESPN App with an ESPN unlimited subscription.
ESPN’s new streaming service is divided into two tiers: the ESPN unlimited package and the ESPN select package.
For $29.99, the ESPN unlimited package includes access to all of ESPN’s linear networks: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNews and ESPN Deportes, plus access to programming on ABC, ESPN+, ESPN3, SECN+ and ACCNX. That means fans will get coverage of more than 47,000 live events each year, on-demand replays, original programming and more.
Right now, for a limited time, you can bundle ESPN unlimited with Disney+ and Hulu and pay $29.99/month for 12 months — that’s like getting those other services free for a year! Even if you’re a current subscriber to Disney+, Hulu or even the bundle, you can still upgrade to this great deal.
Not interested in a bundle? ESPN select (also referred to as ESPN+) is still also an option. For $11.99/month, you can tune in and get exclusive access to events like select NCAA football games, F1 driver cams, simulcasts of certain sports that air on other channels and PPV access to UFC fights.
DirecTV Stream is currently offering its Choice tier (typically $108+/month with fees) for just $72.98 (after fees) for your first month.
DirecTV Stream’s Choice tier gets you access to all the usual football suspects: NBC, NFL Network, ESPN, The CW, ABC, CBS and Fox, plus ACC Network, Big Ten Network, SEC Network and plenty more local Regional Sports Networks. (If you want to avoid paying the RSN fees, the Entertainment Tier has plenty of channels you can catch NFL games on too.)
Whichever package you choose, you’ll get unlimited Cloud DVR storage and access to ESPN+’s new streaming tier, ESPN unlimited.
The best part is, currently, you can try all this out free for 5 days. So if you’re interested in trying out a live TV streaming service for football season, but aren’t ready to commit, we recommend starting with DirecTV Stream.
Fubo’s new skinny sports bundle, Fubo Sports, includes local broadcast stations owned and operated by ABC, CBS and FOX, plus additional affiliates in select markets, as well as ACC Network, Big 10 Network, CBS Sports Network, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU, Fox News, FS1, FS2, Fubo Sports Network, ION, NFL Network, SEC Network and Tennis Channel. It also includes free access to ESPN’s new ESPN+ unlimited plan. Fubo subscribers get unlimited cloud DVR storage, too.
You can get $10 off your first month, which brings the cost to $45.99; after that, it goes up to $55.99/month.
This new Fubo package has you covered for most nationally broadcast or in-market NFL games, and still leaves you with major savings compared to a traditional cable package.
The platform offers a free trial period, so you can check it out for a few days of the 2025 NFL season and decide if it’s right for you this year.

Brundle: Why peak Verstappen leaves McLaren needing to play ace card
Max Verstappen and Red Bull were on blistering form in Austin, dominating both qualifying sessions along with relatively comfortable victories in the Sprint and the main Grand Prix.Sprint weekends seem to suit Max's talent and confidence, whereby you have one practice session before the relentless competition starts with Sprint Qualifying, Sprint Race, main Qualifying and, finally, the Race. There's a result all three days and, in many ways, they have a cumulative effect. It must be like dropping off the peloton in a cycle race, very hard to catch up.Any problems or incidents in practice limit your car set-up time and driver confidence on what is a constantly evolving track surface. A poor Sprint Qualy is likely to follow, leaving a driver with a lower grid position for a shorter race, and where contact is much more likely to happen.In […]

Krok od senzace. Bylo to blízko, lituje slovenský obr po životní bitvě
Vojčákovi se nakonec nepodařilo v prvním kole soupeře ukončit, což ho stálo vítězství. Šampion ho začal intenzivně ždímat a ve finiši třetího pětiminutového kola našel cestu k triumfu tvrdým ground and pound. Tím rozhodl o své třinácté obhajobě titulu. De Friesovo kralování na trůnu těžké váhy tak trvá už více než sedm let.Předpokládám, že s výsledkem nejste spokojený. Platí to i o vašem výkonu?Já bych to především hodnotil podle pocitu, který jsem měl během zápasu. Na video se podívám až s týmem, abychom si to společně rozebrali. V prvním kole to šlo skoro podle představ, věděli jsme, že pokud přijde nějaká šance na ukončení, budu po ní muset jít a dát do ní maximum. Sice se to nepovedlo, ale byli jsme spokojeni, byť jsem do toho dal hodně energie, což bylo cítit extrémně cítit v dalších kolech a ve finále se to podepsalo na zbytku zápasu. Když jsem se chtěl pouštět […]

Fantasy Football: Boom, bust performances to consider ahead of Week 8
Ja'Marr Chase and Joe Flacco are already building an impressive rapport: Chase recorded a massive 16 receptions on 23 targets en route to 38.1 PPR points this past week. Caleb Williams goes quiet in the Bears' win: Chicago didn't need Williams to shine, as the team's rushing attack thrived, much to the chagrin of Williams' fantasy managers. Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes BOOMS QB Bo Nix, Denver Broncos Sunday was a rollercoaster for those who started Bo Nix. Through three quarters, he was 11-of-25 passing for 105 yards and no touchdowns — primed to appear in the “busts” section of this article. But Nix and the Broncos put together a fourth quarter for the ages. With 218 total yards, four touchdowns and a 76.2% adjusted completion rate in the final frame, Nix quickly became a Week 7 fantasy superstar. He finished […]
