The Eastern Michigan football team plays in the MAC Conference, a league that has a TV contract with CBS Sports Network and ESPN. Most EMU Eagles games will air on an ESPN channel. Many EMU football fans will want to watch Michigan football, as well as Detroit pro sports, alongside MAC football. For this reason, DIRECTV STREAM’s “Ultimate” package, as the only live TV streaming platform that carries Bally Sports Detroit, is our top pick for watching Eastern Michigan football, plus major Michigan sporting events. However, if you want to get every EMU game from one app, Hulu + Live TV, with its ESPN+ bundle, is the best choice. Both Hulu and DIRECTV STREAM carry WJBK FOX 2 Detroit for watching Aidan Hutchinson and the Detroit Lions.

Watching Eastern Michigan football: our top picks
Despite lacking ESPN+, and despite a hefty price tag, DIRECTV STREAM “Ultimate” secures the top spot for watching EMU football because, as a kid from Detroit, I know that most EMU fans would want the streaming service that includes Bally Sports Detroit, even if it means missing a couple EMU games. With DIRECTV STREAM, you can watch the majority of the EMU football season, plus the Tigers, Red Wings, Pistons, and Lions.
It’s easy to add an ESPN+ subscription to get access to the missing games.
If you want full EMU Eagles football coverage, Hulu + Live TV, with its ESPN+ bundle, is the only option to watch all of EMU’s season from one app. Hulu does not carry Bally Sports Detroit.
