This could be a statement game for Texas. Currently ranked third in the nation, this team has championship-or-bust expectations this season. Last week's dominating 52-0 win over Oklahoma State did nothing to temper those expectations. Now, they just need to go into Michigan and secure a win, otherwise they could be at risk of falling behind fellow SEC powerhouses Georgia and Alabama.

Of course, going into Michigan and winning is no small feat. Or at least, it shouldn't be. Michigan went 15-0 en route to a National Championship last season and beat Fresno State handily in Week 1, 30-10. Michigan is a tough stadium to play in no matter what, let alone against a Michigan team that's currently ranked 10th in the nation.

So it may shock you that Texas is heavily favored to win this game. The Longhorns are favored over the Wolverines by a full touchdown according to DraftKings and are significantly favored straight up. Is this a trap game waiting to happen? Or is this simply a matter of Texas having a backup quarterback better than Michigan's starter and returning most of its talent from last year? After all, Michigan lost a lot of its star players and its head coach from last year. This isn't the same Wolverines team.

Make sure you don't miss Texas vs. Michigan, or any of this season's college football with our 2024 college football livestreams guide. Here's how to watch the Texas vs. Michigan livestream from anywhere in the world — and potentially for free.

U.K. fans cannot watch Texas vs. Michigan on Sky Sports.

Still, if you want to watch select NCAA football games, you can add Sky Sports to an existing Sky subscription for £22/month. 

Sky Glass is another option for watching NCAA and NFL football in the U.K. This service gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar without the need for a dish. Prices start at £14/month for the TV, plus a Sky subscription on top of that.

If you're currently an American in the U.K., and can't access Sky Sports, don't worry. You can use NordVPN to watch Texas vs. Michigan abroad.

In Australia, the Texas vs. Michigan livestream will not be shown on Kayo Sports. Kayo Sports gives you ESPN coverage of both college football and NFL livestreams, with a few games on offer each week. Since this game is on Fox in the U.S., Kayo Sports does not have access to it through its ESPN deal.

Of course, if you're in Australia, you can always use NordVPN to watch your U.S. streaming services abroad.

How to watch Texas vs Michigan livestreams in Canada

If you're in Canada, unfortunately, Texas vs. Michigan will not be on TSN. TSN has a monopoly on college football so this is essentially your only option for watching games this season, and it does not have access to this game.

Among the best streaming services we've tested, the only one that may offer games is Fubo, which has a pretty deep live sports selection and operates in Canada. Unfortunately, at this time we cannot confirm that Fubo will offer any college football livestreams in Canada like it does in the U.S.

Of course, if you're in Canada, you can always use NordVPN to watch your U.S. streaming services abroad.
