The East Carolina Carolina Pirates are a D-1 college football team that plays in the AAC Conference. Because the AAC has a TV deal with ESPN, most of East Carolina football games appear on an ESPN channel. Much of the Pirates football schedule is live streamed on ESPN+, so if your main goal is watching ECU football, a simple ESPN+ subscription will get you about half of the games. Pair ESPN+ with Sling Orange + Sports Extra to get the rest of the East Carolina football lineup while saving a good bit of money each month over most live TV streaming services.

How to watch East Carolina football: our top picks

I love the option of saving a ton of money and using just an ESPN+ subscription to watch East Carolina football. Some games will be missing, but the value here will be tempting for many cord cutters, especially if you can head to a bar or a friend’s house for 4-5 games a season.

For the best, and most cost effective coverage, add a Sling Orange + Sports Extra package to your ESPN+ subscription.


For the best, and most cost effective coverage of ECU football games, add a Sling Orange + Sports Extra package to your ESPN+ subscription. This gets you every channel ECU appear on for about half the price of fuboTV or Hulu + Live TV.


It will cost you about $500 per year more than the Sling Orange and ESPN+ combo recommended above, but if you want to stay on just one app to stream East Carolina football, Hulu + Live TV, with its ESPN+ bundle, carries every channel you need to live stream every ECU Pirates game.
