No one dominates college football quite like the SEC, and you’ll want to stream SEC Network to follow it.

  • Some SEC games will be exclusively on SEC Network this season.
  • When you stream SEC Network, you’ll get news and analysis to keep you better informed throughout the season.
  • One of college football’s most beloved pundits, Paul Finebaum, has his own show on the channel.

What is the SEC Network?

The SEC Network is a sports channel that features live games, highlights, and news from the Southeastern Conference: Recent newcomers like Missouri and Texas A&M have joined mainstays like Alabama, Florida, and LSU. Created in 2014, it’s a joint venture between ESPN and Hearst.

While college football is its biggest draw, it covers the whole spectrum of SEC sports. That includes men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, softball, and track and field live events. When you stream SEC Network, you can also access the daily news show SEC NowThe Paul Finebaum Show, and the documentary series SEC Storied.

What is SEC Network Plus?

SEC Network Plus (more commonly styled as SEC Network+) functions more like ESPN Plus. It’s an ESPN-only bonus feature that allows you to watch SEC games on the ESPN site and WatchESPN app. That doesn’t mean you can’t watch it on your TV; you’ll just need something like a streaming device like Chromecast or a smart TV where you can add ESPN.

Unlike ESPN Plus, you don’t have to pay extra for SEC Network Plus. So long as you have a way to watch ESPN online, you’ll have access to SEC Network+ games.

If you do see two SEC Network channels with your cable company or in your live TV streaming package, the second one is not SEC Network Plus. It’s SEC Network Alternate Channel, which functions as a spillover channel in case games overlap. (For instance, if a 7pm game goes into overtime and a 9pm game is scheduled to stream.)
