How To Watch Texas Longhorns Football Online Without Cable in 2025

Where to watch Texas football

The Longhorns’  inclusion in the SEC will bring a few changes to the team’s TV schedule. That means fewer games on Fox Sports networks and more games on ABC, ESPN, and SEC Network.

Watch Texas football with DIRECTV

In 2025, DIRECTV costs more than Sling but is among the few live TV streaming services with RSNs. The Entertainment plan carries ABC, Fox, and ESPN, while upgrading to Choice unlocks ESPN2, ESPNU, ACCN, Big 10 Network, NFL Network, and local RSNs. Every DIRECTV plan also includes unlimited Cloud DVR and home streaming on unlimited devices.

Watch Texas football with Hulu + Live TV

In 2025, Hulu + Live TV outshines Fubo for balance, giving Longhorns fans ABC, ESPN, Fox, and SEC Network in its channel lineup. Plans also include Disney Plus and ESPN Plus, with content from Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel. While Hulu lacks RSNs, it offsets that with unlimited Cloud DVR and expansive entertainment options.

Watch Texas football with Sling TV 

As of 2025, Sling TV is the most budget-friendly way to stream Longhorns games, though choosing the right package matters. Sling Orange with the Sports Extra add-on gives ESPN and SEC Network, while ABC and Fox are available via antenna or, in some markets, the expanded Orange & Blue package. All plans include 50 hours of Cloud DVR, though none carry RSNs.

Watch Texas football with Fubo

In 2025, Fubo remains a go-to for Texas football, with the Pro plan offering ESPN, FS1, SEC Network, NFL Network, Big 10 Network, local channels, and RSNs (with a regional sports fee). Fubo supports unlimited DVR and 10 home streams, plus customizable add-ons and 4K events. The tradeoff: it lacks TBS, TNT, BBC, and CNN.

Watch Texas football with YouTube TV

YouTube TV delivers a maxed-out lineup ideal for Longhorns fans, with ESPN, NFL Network, FS1, ACCN, SEC Network, and more. Offering over 110 channels, unlimited DVR, and add-ons like NFL Sunday Ticket and premium networks, it’s one of the best sports-and-entertainment mixes. The downside: few RSNs, though affordable add-ons can help cover local gaps.

ESPN’s standalone platform ESPN Plus won’t carry every Longhorns game but remains a strong value with select matchups, plus NHL, MLB, UFC, and European soccer. Subscribers also enjoy acclaimed documentaries and in-depth analysis, making it a versatile supplement for college and pro sports coverage.
