How to watch ECU basketball on Hulu + Live TV
ECU basketball’s smaller games against lesser known AAC teams that take place earlier in the season are often streamed exclusively on ESPN+, which means there technically is no channel.

If you want access to every ECU basketball game, then Hulu + Live TV has the channel lineup to get you there.
Hulu also carries WYDO-TV, eastern North Carolina’s FOX affiliate, for watching the Carolina Panthers live every Sunday.
