How can I use a VPN to watch the Auburn vs. Florida game?

Out of the country when the Tigers and Gators get underway? Not to worry — a virtual private network, or VPN, can make it seem as if you're surfing the internet at home, even if you're an ocean away.

How can I live stream the Auburn vs. Florida game?

If you've got a cable subscription, you can head to the CBS Sports website or the CBS Sports app (Android, iOS) on your smartphone. Either option will carry a live stream of the Auburn vs. Florida game, so you'll be able to watch the action even if you're not near a television set. You will need to sign in with login credentials from a cable or satellite TV provider, so if you've cut the cord on cable, consider other options.

How can I live stream the Auburn vs. Florida game without a cable subscription?

Signing up for a streaming service is one way to beat the high cost of cable and still enjoy live sports. And CBS provides a low-cost option that should satisfy fans of SEC schools.

CBS All Access costs $5.99-a-month, and while it's mostly known for its original programming — think Star Trek Discovery — it also gives you access to CBS's own shows, including college football coverage like the Auburn vs. Florida game.

Other subscription streaming services cost more, but they also provide more channels than just CBS, so if you keep your subscription, you'll get the chance to watch more college football beyond just the Auburn vs. Florida match-up. Just be sure that the service you opt for carries your local CBS affiliate — not all local channels are supported in all markets.

Here's a list of the streaming services where you may be able to catch today's Auburn vs. Florida game.
