Best TV plans for SLU men’s basketball
The Atlantic 10 media deal spans ESPN, NBC Sports, CBS Sports, and USA Sports networks. That’s a lot of networks to keep track of for a months-long season.
Below, we’ve laid out two services you’ll want to consider to watch St. Louis men’s basketball all season long.
Best Overall
YouTube TV carries every network Billikens fans will need to watch games live. It also includes ESPN Unlimited at no extra cost, fully integrated into its platform. So games on ESPN+ will be available without needing to navigate away from YouTube TV.
Best Standalone Option
ESPN Unlimited includes all ESPN+ content, plus games airing on The CW. This service is less expensive than a full live TV service, but it won’t get you games on CBS Sports Network.
