How to Watch on Cable or Fubo
Because the English-language broadcast for this exciting fixture is hosted on FS1 and the Spanish-language broadcast is televised on Universo, neither feed will be available on standard over-the-air broadcast television. To watch the game, you will need to tune in through a traditional cable/satellite subscription or stream it via a live TV streaming service like Fubo or DirecTV Stream.
If you do not have a traditional pay-TV provider, you can utilize a free trial from Fubo or DirecTV Stream to access both networks completely free of charge.
- For English commentary: Tune into FS1 via your cable provider, or stream via the Fubo 5-day free trial.
- For Spanish commentary: Tune into Universo via your cable provider, or stream via the Fubo 5-day free trial.
