NC State entered the season with some substantial hype, but struggled severely in the first three quarters against Western Carolina last week. The Wolfpack rallied for a 38-21 win in the fourth, but they could use a win against a more imposing team like the Vols. Tennessee’s Week 1 game was a bloodbath that took down Chattanooga 69-3.

How to Watch Tennessee vs. NC State Online

Tennessee vs. NC State is airing live on ABC, but cord-cutters can livestream the game online using any cable streaming service that carries the channel, or with ESPN+. If you’re going the live TV streaming route, we recommend Sling, fubo, or Hulu + Live TV (ABC is currently blacked out on DirecTV Stream).

Hulu + Live TV and fubo offer one major benefit over Sling: free trials, which you can use to stream Tennessee vs. NC State for free. Hulu + Live TV’s free trial lasts three days, and fubo’s free trial lasts seven days. After the free trial, both streamers cost about $80 a month. Right now, however, fubo is offering $30 off your first month of service.

Fans can also livestream Tennessee vs. NC State online with ESPN+, which costs just $10.99 a month. Sadly, though, ESPN+ doesn’t offer a free trial.

Sling is a much more affordable cable streaming option (in the long run) with packages starting at just $40 a month. However, Sling doesn’t offer a free trial right now. You’ll need Sling’s Blue plan to stream Tennessee vs. NC State on ABC, which starts at $40 a month ($45 in some regions). Sling is also running a deal right now that gets you $25 off your first month.

Stream Tennessee vs. NC State for Free

If you’re looking to watch Tennessee vs. NC State for free, be sure to take advantage of a free trial from either fubo or Hulu + Live TV. Either one will let you stream Tennessee vs. NC State for free, as long as you cancel before the trial ends.
