A Sling TV subscription will give you the most comprehensive coverage of the Big 12 conference at the lowest price. You’ll want to opt for the Orange + Blue package ($55 per month) and then add Sports Extra ($15 per month). That’s a total of $70 per month, but it gives you access to over 65 channels. This includes ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, Fox, FS1, and FS2, which air most Big 12 games. It also includes specialty channels like the SEC Network, ACC Network, and Big Ten Network. Even if you don’t cheer for any of the teams in those conferences, these are the networks that will broadcast all matchups between your favorite Big 12 team and teams from other conferences.

ESPN+

While an ESPN+ subscription alone doesn’t offer the most coverage, it’s the cheapest way to watch a large number of Big 12 games this season. As one of the Big 12 Conference’s major broadcast partners, ESPN has already confirmed that 15 of the games over the next four weeks will be streamed on ESPN+. The rest of the schedule isn’t yet known, but fans will likely see a majority of future games streamed on the platform as well. An ESPN+ subscription costs just $10.99 per month.

Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV is another great deal for sports fans. Now that it’s bundled with Disney+ and ESPN+, this subscription gives you access to ESPN, ESPN2, Fox, FS1, CBS, NBC, and specialty channels like Big Ten Network, ACCN, and SECN. That means you can watch virtually every game this season in one place. Outside of the Big 12 Conference, Hulu + Live TV also includes full access to Disney+ and dozens of premium TV channels. This package costs $76.99 per month, but you can try it free for three days if you sign up now.

FuboTV

The FuboTV Pro plan — the platform’s entry-level plan — already gives you access to all the channels you need to watch most of this season’s Big 12 college football games. ESPN, Fox, CBS, NBC, ACC Network, and the Big Ten Network are all included in this basic plan. You’ll need to purchase either the Sports Lite or Sports Plus add-on to get the SEC Network, which airs some Big 12 games. However, it only airs a few games, so check to see if any of the teams you follow are on this short list before committing to the add-ons. Prices start at $79.99 per month for FuboTV Pro, but higher-end plans are available that pack even more channels and premium streaming services into a single package.
