Important channels
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 2024 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 Kentucky football fans and which live TV streaming providers carry each channel, plus the latest free trials.
