Even the biggest west coast football fans will admit that 2018 was a down year for the Pac-12. But we'll see if things have improved for this college football season tonight (Sept. 7) as the USC Trojans face the Stanford Cardinal in an early season conference clash.
Want to stay up late to watch the USC vs. Stanford game? You've got many ways to tune in, including live streaming options that bring you the game no matter where you happen to be.
When can I watch the USC vs. Stanford game?
Get set for a late night kickoff. The USC vs. Stanford game begins at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT. ESPN will broadcast the game in the U.S., while U.K. viewers can watch USC vs. Stanford on BTSport 1.
How can I use a VPN to watch USC vs. Stanford?
If you're out of the country Saturday night, but still want to watch the USC vs. Stanford game, you could give a virtual private network, or VPN, a try. Using a VPN, you can make it seem as if you're back home, so that you can get access to the same streaming services you would enjoy back in your home country.
Not sure which VPN to use? We've tested many services to find the best overall VPN, and we recommend ExpressVPN. It has the best set of features, and you'll appreciate its customer service. Here's how it compares to other top VPNs that can help you live stream sports like the USC vs. Stanford game.
How can I live stream the USC vs. Stanford game?
Everything ESPN broadcasts streams on its website or on its mobile app (Android, iOS). So when the Trojans and Cardinal are ready to kick off, fire up either option to live stream the game.
One caveat, though: you'll need to be a cable or satellite TV subscriber. ESPN requires you to sign in with your TV provider to enjoy its streaming options, so anyone who's cancelled cable will need to consider other options.
How can I live stream the USC vs. Stanford game without a cable subscription?
Don't despair if you've cut the cable cord. You can still watch USC vs. Stanford. You'll just need to sign up for a streaming service that includes ESPN. The good news is that includes most services, which also offer ESPN as part of their basic subscription tiers. (The exception is, ironically, the sports-focused Fubo.TV, which doesn't have access to any ESPN channels.)
Here are your best bets if you're looking for a streaming service that includes ESPN.
