Watch NC State football live online

You can watch today’s NC State football game live on most major streaming devices, including Roku, Apple TV, iPhone, Samsung Smart TV, and more. Sling TV recently added WTVD ABC 11 Raleigh, but in order to pair it with ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, as well as the ACC Network, NC State fans have to sign up for Orange & Blue + Sports Extra which wipes out the savings from Sling TV Orange alone. Stay with Sling Orange + Sports Extra if you’re ok missing local channels and you want to save about $300 per year. Raleigh sports fans who want to watch both the Wolfpack and Panthers should sign up for fuboTV to get access to FOX and CBS.

Wolfpack football player to watch in 2023 – #3

Keep an eye on Aydan White #3 for the Wolfpack when the team is on defense. The NC State star CB is the highest paid NIL player on the NC State roster, and the #102 player nationally, according to On3 sports.

The most important channels for watching NC State football

Under the ACC’s TV contract with ESPN, NC State Football will usually be broadcast on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, and the ACC Network. ACC football TV channels are a bit more complicated than some leagues due to the ACC on Regional Sports Networks program which allows for some TV inventory of ACC football games to air on local regional sports networks.

Live streaming NC State football: our top picks

With fuboTV “Sports Lite” NC State fans can watch ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ACC Network, WRAZ FOX 50 for Carolina Panthers games, and more.

There are a lot of Midwesterners who have moved from states like Ohio and Michigan to North Carolina. If you have your snowbird friends over, fuboTV also carries the Big Ten Network.


Although DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” is very expensive at over $1,000 per year, it is a great option for NC State fans who also want to stream the Carolina Hurricanes and the Charlotte Hornets on Bally Sports Carolinas.

As an added bonus, DIRECTV STREAM offers unlimited DVR for all of its packages.


Hulu + Live TV is a standout because the platform carries all of the important ACC football channels in the base package, including the ACC Network and ESPNU.

The major bonuses for Wolfpack faithful with Hulu + Live TV are the ESPN+ bundle and access to ACC Network Extra. Although ACC Network Extra doesn’t air college football, it is a key channel for watching regular season ACC basketball matchups.


With the cost of streaming services pricing some households out of the market, Sling TV Orange + Sports Extra will be attractive for many Wolfpack fans, especially now that Sling TV carries ABC in Raleigh. The problem is that Sling Orange carries ESPN and Sling Blue carries ABC, so if you want both channels, it’s necessary to add Sling Orange & Blue.

The major issue is Sling Orange alone won’t get WRAZ FOX 50 for watching NFC games, including the Panthers.


YouTube TV easily could be our top pick here, and it is definitely a great option for NC State Wolfpack football fans. I love the 4K package, as well as the Stats View and Key Plays features, which make stalwarts like ESPN’s GameCast superfluous. We find the setup and user experience for fuboTV to be a little more enjoyable, but YouTube TV is a fantastic option for streaming sports.
