Virginia Cavaliers 2019 TV Schedule

Virginia Cavaliers and ACC have broadcast agreements with ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and the ACC Network. The ACC Network (R) is a new channel that will stream 40 games in 2019. The best ways to watch Virginia games are on Hulu and Sling TV. We will cover these services in later sections.

Unfortunately, due to the way NCAA football games are scheduled with the networks, most times and channels are unavailable before the season begins. Here is the schedule:

Watch Live Cavaliers Games With Hulu + Live

Hulu is the best streaming option for watching Cavaliers games in 2019. You may be familiar with Hulu as being an on-demand TV service to watch previously aired TV shows but now you can watch college football with Hulu + Live TV. This is one of the best options to watch your favorite NCAA football team because they offer live TV broadcasts aired on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN College Extra, and ESPN U, ABC, B1G Ten Network, CBS, CBS Sports Network, FOX, FS1, NBC, NBCSN, and FOX Sports regional networks. They also carry the ACC Network giving you access to 40 ACC games this year.

Cord cutters will not be disappointed because Hulu’s app contains an NCAA FB hub where you can follow your favorite teams in one location. This feature contains live games, highlights, and more. There are no contracts or installation costs. You can watch Hulu on practically any device such as Roku, Amazon Fire Sticks, Smart TVs, and even smartphones.

Hulu only offers one live streaming TV package which costs $44.99/month. In addition to sports, Hulu + Live TV contains over 60 channels. Other popular channels offered by this service are HGTV, FS1, Disney Jr, Nat Geo, Discovery Channel, FX/FXX, and more. You also get access to Hulu’s on-demand library.

Stream Virginia NCAA Football Games With Sling TV

This streaming service is a great option because Sling TV carries ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, FOX Regional Sports Networks; however, it does not carry the ACC Network. Sling TV does not require a contract nor does it have any installation costs. For the price, this is one of the least expensive ways to watch your favorite ACC teams.

Sling TV offers the Sling Orange and Sling Blue plans. Both streaming plans cost $25/month or you can get Orange + Blue for $40/month. There are a few important differences to note. The Sling Orange plan includes ESPN but does not include local channels. You can also purchase the $10 Sports Extra add-on which includes the PAC 12 Network and other channels such as NBA TV, SEC Network, SEC Network+, Pac-12, ESPNU, ESPNEWS, NHL Network, beIN SPORTS. Please read our comprehensive Sling TV review for more details.

You can use Sling TV in several different ways. If you want to watch games on a TV you can use a smart TV and download the Sling TV app or you can use a streaming device such as a Roku or Amazon Fire TV Stick. Don’t have a streaming device? Sling is currently offering a free Roku streaming device to new subscribers that subscribe and pre-pay for two months (~$30 value). You can access this offer by clicking our link.

If you are traveling your local channels may be blacked out. To overcome this, use Sling TV with a VPN service and you will be able to watch your team play out-of-market. We recommend ExpressVPN.

College Football Coverage With ESPN+

For the insanely low price of $4.99/month or $49.99/annual you can get access to over 300 live NCAA games in 2019 with ESPN+. This service comes directly from ESPN and offers live games from several different sports such as MLB, MLS, NCAA, UFC Fight Night and a lot more. ESPN+ primarily features NCAA games from lowered tiered schools and the BIG 12.

Please note that ESPN+ is not a primary source to watch ESPN or NCAAF but is designed to supplement other sources such as Hulu. The content offered on ESPN+ is exclusive to ESPN+ such as 30 for 30, NFL PrimeTime, Peyton’s Places, and even exclusive fantasy football content. To learn more read our ESPN+ review.

In addition to all of this great content ESPN+ also has the following features for college football fans:

• Fans can pause, rewind and replay every single live game offered, so no need to feel left out if you missed the opening kick-off
• Get behind-the-scenes coverage with exclusive articles from ESPN’s renowned College Football insiders
• Real-time stats and analysis is available thanks to ESPN’s PickCenter

Can I Watch Virginia Cavaliers Out Of Market?

One of the greatest obstacles and annoyances of cord-cutting can be blackouts and the differences in available channels from market to market. For example, if you are a Virginia fan but you live in New York City you aren’t going to get the game unless it’s nationally televised.

There is good news and that news is VPNs or Virtual Private Networks.

A VPN allows you to “mask” your IP address and trick the streaming service into believing you are in another location. This means that if you live in San Francisco but want to watch an out-of-market team from New York or Kansas City, you can just set your VPN to that location and you will get the channels in that local market. This even works for international customers who want to see US TV and sports.

You may be thinking to yourself, “I don’t know, this sounds complicated.” But do not worry, VPNs sound complicated, but they are actually very easy to install and operate. Most VPNs only require just a few clicks to operate and you will never deal with a blackout ever again.

Our top-rated VPN is ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN is a fast, reliable, and inexpensive option to pair with your favorite streaming service. Plans begin as low as $8.32/month. You can try ExpressVPN free for 30-days.

Please Note: Using a VPN may be against your streaming service’s user agreement and you should proceed with caution and make sure you are violating any terms that could get your account canceled.

Illegal Streams of Virginia Cavaliers Games

It is our policy to never recommend any illegal streams of NCAA games or anything else. Most illegal “free” streams put you at considerable risk to acquire viruses and dangerous malware. These streams are untrustworthy, blurry, low-quality, and quite frankly just flat out garbage. It is not worth the risk by any means just to save a few bucks.
