Two FCS programs enduring difficult seasons will meet on Saturday, October 10, as the Portland State Vikings (1-4) welcome the Utah Tech Trailblazers (0-6) to Hillsboro Stadium in Hillsboro, Oregon. The Week 6 contest is scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. PT / 4 p.m. ET / 2 p.m. MT.
However, fans hoping to catch the action on conventional television will be disappointed. The game is not available on traditional broadcast TV and will instead stream exclusively on ESPN's live sports platforms, accessible via the ESPN App with an ESPN Select or ESPN Unlimited subscription. This is the streaming service formerly known as ESPN Plus.
For those looking to watch, the cheapest option is ESPN Select at $12.99 per month or $129.99 for a full year, cancellable at any time. ESPN also offers more expensive bundles that include Hulu and Disney Plus, but viewers can choose the least expensive plan by selecting ESPN Select during sign-up.
Alternatively, the Disney Bundle or ESPN Unlimited plan may appeal to those seeking additional streaming options. The best deal is the Disney+ Bundle, which includes Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN Unlimited for $35.99 per month (with ads). That price is only slightly higher than the ESPN Unlimited plan alone ($31.99 per month), which provides access to all ESPN networks and services.
Key Analysis
The ESPN Unlimited plan includes ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, ESPN Deportes, SEC Network, ACC Network, ESPN+, ESPN on ABC, SEC Network+, ACC Network Now, and ESPN3. With both teams struggling early in the season, this game offers a chance for one to gain momentum, though it will only be visible to those with the appropriate streaming subscription.
