Watch Big 12 Conference on Sling TV
Sling TV is an affordable way to watch the Big 12 Conference without cable. It offers two packages, Sling Blue and Sling Orange. They both cost $35/month, but come with slightly different channels. They can be combined for $50/month. This may be a good move if you want to watch Big 12 games. This is because Sling Orange has ESPN, while Sling Blue has Fox Sports. Neither package has broadcast networks like ABC and Fox, but you can watch them with an antenna.
You’ll get some pretty good features with Sling TV, too. You can record 50 hours of content and upgrade to 200 hours of storage for $5/month. You can watch Sling Orange on 1 device at a time, and Sling Blue on up to 3 devices at once.
Device support is also excellent. You can watch Big 12 Conference without cable using iOS and Android devices, web browsers, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Chromecast, Apple TV, and more. You can try Sling TV for free with a 7-day trial now, and see if it’s right for you.
Watch Big 12 Conference On fuboTV
fuboTV is a bit more expensive, but has pretty much all the channels you need to watch Big 12 Conference live without cable. The $64.99/month Starter package includes ESPN and Fox Sports, as well as ABC, NBC, Fox, CBS, and over 100+ other channels.
As far as features go, you get 250 hours of DVR storage with the Starter package. You can pay $16.99/month or upgrade to a higher-tier package to get 1,000 hours of storage. You also can watch on up to 3 devices at once, or pay $9.99/month to stream on up to 10 screens. This is also an available feature in the higher-tier packages.
fuboTV lets you watch on your favorite devices, too. It supports iOS, Android, and web browsers for on-the-go use. At home, you can watch on Amazon Fire, Chromecast, Roku, and Apple TV, as well as a few other devices. You can try fuboTV free for a week and see if you like it.
Watch Big 12 Conference on Hulu With Live TV
Hulu With Live TV is a good way to watch Big 12 games without cable, and costs $64.99/month. For your money, you get 75+ channels depending on your location. This includes ESPN, Fox Sports, ABC, and Fox, to name just a few. That means you’ll always catch the best nationally-televised NCAA football games.
Hulu With Live TV’s features don’t disappoint, either. You get a 50-hour DVR, and you can watch on up to 2 devices at once. You can upgrade both features, too. It costs $9.99/month to upgrade your DVR to 200 hours, or to unlock unlimited at-home streams. You can combine these upgrades for $14.99/month, if you want.
The list of supported devices is too long to put here in full. It includes iOS and Android, web browsers, Amazon Fire devices, Chromecast, Roku, Apple TV, and much more. To try Hulu With Live TV free for a week, click here. There’s no commitment, and you can cancel at any time.
Watch Big 12 Conference On DirecTV Stream
DirecTV Stream is a bit expensive, but is still a viable option for cord-cutters who want to catch most Big 12 games this NCAA season. It costs $69.99/month for the basic “Entertainment” package. This has 65+ channels including NBC/ABC/CBS/Fox, Fox Sports, and ESPN, to name just a few.
Its features are okay, though the DVR only lets you record 20 hours of content. You’ll need to pay $10/month to upgrade to unlimited storage. Even then, your oldest recordings will be deleted after 90 days. Its simultaneous streams are a lot better, though. You can watch on up to 20 devices at once, which is by far the largest number offered by any internet TV service.
Device support covers pretty much what you’d expect. You can watch Big 12 games on Android, iOS, web browsers, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, Roku, and Apple TV. DirecTV Stream currently doesn't offer a free trial, but you can try it now and cancel your subscription if you don’t like it.
Watch Big 12 Conference on ESPN+
ESPN+ is the exclusive home of some Big 12 matches this year. It usually broadcasts 1-2 games per week, so it’s not necessarily required if you want to watch Big 12 Conference without cable. However, it costs only $6.99/month or $69.99/year, so it’s pretty affordable, and it may be worth it if your team is playing some Big 12 games that will be broadcast on ESPN+.
Along with live streams, ESPN+ does offer a good amount of on-demand content related to sports, such as an archive of the well-regarded ESPN 30 For 30 documentaries. You can stream ESPN+ on up to 3 devices at once, whether you’re watching live content or on-demand shows.
If you’d like to give ESPN+ a try, just click here. There’s no free trial available, but you can sign up for a single month and cancel at any time with no penalties.
Watch Big 12 Conference On YouTube TV
YouTube TV is another viable alternative if you want to stream Big 12 games live without cable. Similarly to Hulu With Live TV, it costs $64.99/month, and your subscription will get you 85+ channels. This includes NBC/ABC/CBS/FOX, ESPN, and Fox Sports, to name just a few.
YouTube TV’s most notable feature is its unlimited DVR. You can record as much content as you want. The only limitation is that your recordings expire after 9 months. You can also stream on up to 3 devices at once, and create 6 individual user accounts with each subscription.
Device support is stellar, as you may expect. You can stream on web browsers, iOS, Android, Amazon Fire devices, Chromecast, Roku, and Apple TV, as well as some smart TVs and gaming consoles. Click here to try YouTube TV free for a week, and see if you like it.
