In this USC football viewing guide, I will break down the best options for live streaming USC football on any device, including iPhone, Roku, Amazon Fire TVs, and Samsung Smart TVs. Fubo’s “Sports Lite” package and Sling TV Orange & Blue + Sports Extra are the only live TV streaming options for watching the entirety of USC’s 2024 campaign, including PAC-12 Network broadcasts. Fubo is our top pick because, unlike SlingTV, the platform offers FOX sports in 4K and KCAL-TV CBS 9 Los Angeles for watching the Chargers.

USC’s biggest matchups of the season will air nationally on ABC, ESPN, and FOX. Smaller games will be broadcast by the PAC-12 Network, FS1, and even ESPNU, depending on who the opponent is. Next season when USC joins the Big Ten, the channel lineup will change slightly.

Top picks

As sports fans ourselves, we always focus on complete solutions for readers when crafting viewing guides at Streaming Stadium, which is why the fuboTV “Sports Lite” is the easy choice for Trojans fans in 2024.

The Fubo “Sports Lite” package, with its addition of PAC-12 Network, is the only option for live-streaming every Trojans game this season from one app other than Sling TV Orange & Blue + Sports Extra which added ABC this year in LA.

Fubo also offers complete coverage for USC football next season when they make the move to the Big Ten.

If you’re an MLB, NHL, or NBA fan in SoCal, you can watch most of your local teams with Fubo, except for the Lakers and Dodgers.

fuboTV is also our top pick for watching the defending Super Bowl Champion Los Angeles Rams.


Yes, you need the PAC-12 Network to watch every USC football game in 2024 and no, DIRECTV STREAM doesn’t offer the PAC-12 Network, even in a sports add-on.

So, why is DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” listed here as our second choice for Trojans fans in this very important season for the program?

Easy, it is still a great option for LA sports fans. USC plays on the PAC-12 Network, but as a national brand, much less than many PAC-12 teams, like Colorado or Oregon State.

Most USC games will air on national TV now that Lincoln Riley is on board and attracting serious talent to LA. DIRECTV STREAM offers all the channels you need to watch USC’s big games, as well as the regional sports networks you need to watch all of the local MLB, NBA, and NHL teams in SoCal. If you’re ok missing some smaller games, and you want to follow teams like the Lakers and Dodgers alongside the Trojans, then DIRECTV STREAM “Choice” may be difficult to pass up.


With ABC, FS1, FOX in LA, and PAC-12 Network, Sling Blue + Sports Extra is a good budget option of you’re ok missing some Trojans games that air on ESPN channels, or going to a bar to watch.

By upgrading to Sling TV Orange & Blue + Sports Extra, Trojan fans can get complete coverage of the 2024 season, but be aware that Sling TV has major holes in its channel lineup for watching LA sports. For example, Sling TV doesn’t carry Spectrum Sportsnet LA for watching the Dodgers.


Hulu + Live TV gets you all of USC’s 2024 football games except PAC-12 Network games, all in the base package.


YouTube TV has built some really cool features for watching football, plus they offer unlimited DVR and generous free trials. You do need a Google account to use the platform, and there is no option for watching PAC-12 Network, so YouTube TV is not a complete solution for Trojans fans this season, even if its a great option for most football fans.

However, you can watch the Rams and Chargers on YouTube TV and the platform is the new home for NFL Sunday Ticket in 2024.
