A highly anticipated SEC Championship rematch takes place this weekend in Tuscaloosa as the Bulldogs will look to secure a win against the Crimson Tide. If you're having trouble tuning in, you've come to the right place. Read on to learn everything you need to know about where to watch Georgia vs. Alabama, including cable and live streaming options.

The two teams last played last December in the bombastic SEC championship game, where Georgia lost 24-27 to Alabama and lost a shot in the Rose Bowl. Georgia entered the game with an undefeated regular season, so the loss to Alabama came as a surprise to some, even though the Crimson Tide have historically performed better than the Bulldogs in their head-to-head matchups. Alabama lost the Rose Bowl 20-27 to Michigan, which later won its 10th national championship.

Georgia enters the game ranked No. 2 this year with a 3-0 record. At No. 4, Alabama also brings a 3-0 winning streak into the game. Georgia Trails No. 1 is Texas and Alabama behind No. 3 Michigan.

Below you'll find a full range of live streaming options for today's game. We'll also show you how to tune in on the go. Don't forget to bookmark our guide to watching college football streaming for information on other upcoming games.

What channel is Georgia vs. Alabama on?

The Georgia vs. Alabama game is scheduled to begin on Saturday at 7:30 pm ET on ABC in the US. ABC is included in most major cable plans and wireless antenna offerings, but there are also several ways to live stream the game, which we'll discuss in more detail below.

Where to Watch Georgia vs Alabama in USA

ESPN+ is your cheapest streaming option today. The service will broadcast select ABC games, including tonight's Georgia vs. Alabama game, in addition to select ESPN offerings. While ESPN+ doesn't offer a direct live stream from any channel, it is a great streaming service for college football fans. Subscriptions start at $11/month or $110/year. It's not a bad time to get an annual subscription, as ESPN+ plans to increase its prices in October.

ESPN Plus (monthly plan)

ESPN Plus is designed for sports, giving subscribers access to live fights in MLB, NHL, NFL, soccer, golf and UFC. You can pay $11 monthly or opt for an annual contract, saving you about $22 per year. There's also a bundle with Hulu and Disney Plus that offers an even better discount.

You can also check out a live TV package that offers a constant live stream of ABC and several other live channels. These services – including Sling TV, Fubo and DirecTV Stream – are monthly cable alternatives. Sling TV is the cheapest of these options, but local channel coverage varies from region to region. Before subscribing, you should ensure that you are in an area where ABC can be received. Sling's Blue plan offers local networks and over 40 other channels for $40/month, but you can get your first month now for just $15.

Fubo and DirecTV Stream offer broad ABC coverage across the US, alongside numerous other channels such as ESPN, CBS and others. Fubo starts at $80/month and offers over 100 channels (with a seven-day free trial), while DirecTV Stream plans start at $80/month and offers over 90 channels (with a five-day free trial).

Here's how to watch Georgia vs. Alabama from anywhere

You can still access today's game through your streaming subscriptions if you travel outside the US with the help of a VPN. VPNs, short for “Virtual Private Networks,” are easy-to-use cybersecurity tools that allow you to change the virtual location of your electronic device. This allows you to keep up with all your usual websites and apps from almost anywhere in the world, as if you were at home. Because the services we recommend require US payment methods, this option is best for Americans simply traveling abroad.
