Best for FOX Sports
FOX One is an affordable way to watch matchups that land on FOX and Big Ten Network. With those broadcasts happening in consecutive weeks this season, a one-month subscription is all you need. The monthly plan is set at $19.99/mo., which comes out to less than $10 per game for these two matchups.
Best Standalone Option
ESPN Unlimited streams CW Sports, giving Aggies fans another way to watch the Washington State matchup on October 9. The game is set to air on The CW, but the channel’s live sports programming is integrated into the ESPN app for ESPN Unlimited subscribers.
