With just one loss this season, Ole Miss is certainly favored to win over Arkansas in Saturday's matchup. But don't expect the Razorbacks to simply roll over.
While the Arkansas Razorbacks have had a rough start to the year, with only two wins under their belt and coming off a three-game losing streak, they're overdue for a win. And they upset the Rebels in their last meeting, who's to say they won't do it again?
If you can't make it to Mississippi, here's what you need to know to watch the game live from home — with or without cable.
Kickoff time and network
Ole Miss hosts Arkansas at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Mississippi at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, Oct. 7. The game will be televised on SEC Network for those with cable access. No cable? No problem; you can still tune in live through a live TV streaming service that offers SEC Network.
Best streaming services for the Arkansas vs. Ole Miss football game
While cutting the cable cord can certainly save you tons of money each year, it can also make watching college football games a real struggle. In order to catch games live during the 2023 season, including the Arkansas vs. Ole Miss game, you're going to need a streaming subscription (or two).
Since the Rebels take on the Razorbacks on SEC Network this weekend, your only option for streaming will be through a cable TV replacement service. These streamers might be costly, but they'll serve you throughout the season if you choose to keep one long term. We've rounded up our top picks for watching the Arkansas vs. Ole Miss game below to help you decide.
Our top pick: YouTube TV
YouTube TV is our top pick for a live TV streaming service due to its extensive channel lineup of over 100 live TV networks, unlimited DVR space, six household accounts, and three simultaneous streams. The base plan offers access to SEC Network, so you can watch Arkansas take on Ole Miss live, as well as many other games throughout the season on networks like ABC, CBS, ESPN, ESPN 2, Big Ten Network, and more. New subscribers can get three free weeks to dip their toes in, then pay just $52.99/month for three months instead of the usual $72.99/month. That's a savings of $60. Just remember to cancel before your introductory period is up or you'll have to pay the full rate of $72.99/month.
Runner-up: FuboTV
Mashable shopping reporter Leah Stodart calls FuboTV "your ticket to a constant drip-feed of live sports from around the world." It features an even bigger channel lineup than YouTube TV, with an emphasis on sports content. Fortunately, you can test it out and watch the Rebels take on the Razorbacks during a seven-day free trial. But before your trial runs out, you'll have to choose whether or not you want to pay the steep $74.99/month for the Pro tier ($84.99/month for the Elite tier) or cancel your subscription altogether.
Most affordable: Sling TV (Orange package + Sports Extra)
Sling is popular amongst the cord-cutting crowd for a reason: its unique approach to streaming live TV. Sling lets you pick and choose the channel lineup you want based on your preferences (and how much you're willing to pay). That's why it's the most affordable choice on the list. To watch the Arkansas vs. Mississippi game, you'll need the base Orange package ($40/month) with the Sports Extra add-on ($11/month). That comes to $51/month total, but with Sling's introductory rate, you'll pay just $31 for your first month. The price will jump back to the usual rate after your first month of service, at which time you can either choose to keep your subscription as is, cancel with no strings, or tweak your channel lineup.
Best deal: Hulu + Live TV
Hulu + Live TV isn't typically our top pick for a cable replacement, but the deal it's currently running makes it a contender. It offers access to the SEC Network for the Arkansas vs. Mississippi matchup, plus other college football channels like ABC, ACC Network, Big Ten Network, ESPN, ESPN 2, Fox, FS1, FS2, NBC, and more. Not to mention, a subscription also unlocks access to the full streaming libraries of Hulu, ESPN+, and Disney+. If you sign up by Oct. 11, it'll only cost you $49.99/month for your first three months. The price will then hike up to $76.99/month if you don't cancel in time.
