Watching TCU football in 2023: our top picks
Each of the top picks listed below is based on our team’s first-hand experience testing sports programming and user experience on every major live TV streaming service.
Hulu + Live TV offers TCU’s “smaller” games that stream on ESPN+, as well as the channels you need to watch the biggest matchups against teams like Oklahoma and the Texas Longhorns, all from one app.
Hulu is a great choice for streaming TCU Horned Frogs football in 2023 if the simplicity of just subscribing to one app is a priority. Hulu + Live TV has added unlimited DVR and the user experience for sports fans is always improving. In addition to the excellent channel selection for most major college football leagues, including the Big Ten, SEC, ACC, and Big 12, the ESPN+ bundle also gets you UFC action and out-of-market MLB and NHL games.
As big UFC fans, we subscribe to Hulu because it is convenient to order UFC PPV direct from the Hulu app.
Fubo gets Horned Frogs fans all of the games for 2023, except the ESPN+ games.
With Fubo, football fans have the option of pausing subscriptions during the off-season, which is a money saver if the primary goal is streaming football.
If you have a device that supports 4K streaming, you can watch TCU games on FOX in 4K with Fubo Elite. For divided households with Aggie and Frog fans, Fubo carries SEC Network in the base package if you live in Texas, or the South.
Fubo is our top pick for watching the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans. As a bonus, Fubo carries AT&T SportsNet Southwest for watching the Astros and Rockets, and Bally Sports Southwest for in-market Dallas pro sports.
With Fubo, NFL fans also get access to all of the big national games, like the playoffs, Monday Night Football, and Sunday Night Football.
Except for the odd game that airs on ESPN+, DIRECTV STREAM gets college football fans access to TCU’s entire season.
However, if you are looking for a pure football streaming solution, there are better options than DIRECTV STREAM.
However, if you want a full sports solution for Dallas and Houston pro sports, the DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” package is one to look at despite the high price tag.
With DIRECTV STREAM “Choice,” local subscribers in Texas, and some surrounding areas, get access to the channels you need to stream the Astros, Rockets, Rangers, Mavericks, and Stars in the regular season on AT&T SportsNet Southwest and on Bally Sports Southwest.
YouTube TV doesn’t carry ESPN+ or local Texas regional sports networks, but the service does offer the channels you need to stream most TCU football games as well as a 4K upgrade and unlimited DVR storage.
New for 2023, YouTube TV is the home for NFL Sunday Ticket, which makes the service a must-have for NFL fans don’t live in the same market as their favorite team.
