The good news for Arkansas fans is there are several good options for live streaming Arkansas football on most major streaming devices, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, iPhone, and Samsung Smart TVs.

Our top pick, Fubo, carries ABC, CBS, ESPN, and SEC Network in the base package, which gives Arkansas fans full coverage for the 2023 season. YouTube TV, with their 14-day free trial, is the play if you’re a Razorbacks fan looking to watch games for free. Pair Paramount+ with Sling TV Orange+ Sports Extra for excellent coverage at a $300 annual savings over our other top picks.

How to watch today’s Arkansas football game

What channel is the Razorback football game on today? We list the Arkansas football TV schedule for 2023, as well as the live TV streaming services that carry each game, in the easy to use table below.

The most important channels for Arkansas football fans

The most important channels for watching Arkansas football in 2023 are CBS, ESPN, and SEC Network.

With the announcement of a new SEC TV contract for 2024, there is likely to be some confusion among SEC fans this season as to how they can watch their teams. The thing to remember is that the 2022 and 2023 seasons will be played under the old contract, which means that CBS still has the rights to the SEC Game of the Week, night games, and the SEC Championship game. SEC football games that don’t have championship implications will be broadcast on the SEC Network or ESPN2. The “big games” will be broadcast on CBS or ESPN, and CBS has the first choice each week for its featured SEC Game of the Week.

In the easy to use table below, we have listed the most important channels for Arkansas football fans and which live TV streaming providers carry each channel, plus the latest free trials.

How to watch Arkansas football in 2023: Our top picks

fuboTV comes out of the box with 1,000 hours of DVR storage, and has all the channels you need to live stream Arkansas football. SEC Network comes in the base package with Fubo if you live in SEC Territory.

Access to SEC Network requires an upgrade to Sports Lite if you don’t live in the south, but the interface and experience of using Fubo is hard to beat compared to other live TV streaming providers.

Fubo will notify you before Arkansas is going to be on TV, and fans have the option of setting the DVR to record an entire team’s season. Fubo memberships can be paused during the football off-season, which is a great way to save money if streaming football is your top priority, and features like 4K and Multiview are tailor-made for watching NCAAF.

We also like fuboTV for Saints, Falcons, and Cowboys fans.

Unlike Fubo, DIRECTV STREAM doesn’t carry SEC Network in its base package, but you can get SEC Network with the “Choice” package.

Upgrading to the DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” package is a good idea for fans who want access to Braves baseball, and Hawks basketball as DIRECTV STREAM carries Bally Sports South and Southeast, which are the regional sports networks that broadcast Atlanta pro sports to local fans.

For pure Arkansas football viewing, we like other platforms better, but if you want to watch local regular season MLB, NHL, or NBA games then DIRECTV STREAM might be worth the price.

Although the service is no longer the home of NFL Sunday Ticket, you can watch Monday Night Football, Thursday Night Football, and Sunday Night Football with DIRECTV STREAM.

Hulu + Live TV offers all the channels you need to live stream Arkansas football, and as an added bonus, offers SEC Network in the base package.

The ESPN+ bundle will be attractive for many MMA fans in Arkansas who follow local UFC hero Bryce Mitchell, aka “Thug Nasty.” ESPN+ is the exclusive home of UFC events, both Fight Nights and PPV.

YouTube TV is a great option for watching college football, Arkansas Razorbacks games included. YouTube TV carries SEC Network in the base package and offers unlimited DVR storage. Fantasy football fans can sync NFL.com fantasy teams with the YouTube TV mobile app for real time scoring updates.

If you’re trying to get a streaming app setup just before kickoff take note that YouTube TV requires a Google account to get started. As an added bonus for 2023, YouTube TV is the new home of NFL Sunday Ticket.

Best budget option for live streaming Arkansas football in 2023

While Paramount+ isn’t a total solution for watching all of the Arkansas season because the platform lacks ESPN and the SEC Network, it will get you the SEC Game of the Week, featured night games, and the SEC Championship game.

The price here will be hard to pass up for a lot of fans in Little Rock.

Although it is missing CBS, Sling TV Orange has the rest of the channels you need to watch Razorbacks football. If you are an Arkansas fan that wants to save money this season, pair Paramount+ with Sling Orange to get access to CBS, ESPN, ESPN2, and SEC Network. This pairing will also offer excellent coverage of Arkansas basketball at a savings of $600 annually over DIRECTV STREAM “Choice.”
