A live TV streaming subscription is required to stream SEC Network, the 24-hour sports network owned by ESPN. Although there are a number of live TV streaming services to choose from, Sling TV is the cheapest option overall. However, consumers will need to bundle an add-on to access the sports network.
Live TV streaming services with SEC Network:
- Sling TV (Orange + Sports Extra) from $51 a month
- YouTube TV from $73 a month
- Hulu Live TV from $80 a month
- Fubo from $88 a month
- DirecTV Stream from $108.99 a month
Cheapest Way To Stream SEC Network
Sling TV’s Orange plan is currently the cheapest way to watch SEC Network. While the standard Sling Orange package costs $40 a month, it does not include SEC Network. Instead, subscribers can add the $11 a month Sports Extra add-on to the Orange plan, taking the minimum price up to $51 a month.
$40-55/mo
- 30+ channels
- 1-3 streams
- 50-Hour DVR
Deal: First month starting at $20.
Sling TV also offers a Sling Blue plan. However, as ESPN is only available through the Sling Orange package, and ESPN owns SEC Network, the Sports Extra add-on only unlocks access to SEC Network when added to the Orange plan. Any Sling Blue subscribers adding Sports Extra to their package won’t get access to SEC Network.
It is possible to combine the two base plans together through the ‘Orange & Blue’ package. With Orange & Blue costing a minimum of $55 a month, and the Sports Extra add-on costing $15 when added to Orange & Blue, upgrading to the combined plan with SEC Network will cost a minimum of $70 a month.

At $72.99 a month, YouTube TV is the next cheapest option. The YouTube TV base plan unlocks access to more than 100 live TV channels, including SEC Network. Subscribers also get access to an unlimited DVR, multiview, and the ability to share a subscription with up to five other people.

Hulu Live TV is the next cheapest option. Priced at $76.99 a month, the base package not only includes access to SEC Network but also ESPN+ as well. All of which makes Hulu Live TV a good option for those wanting as much access to ESPN channels and programming as possible.
$77/mo
- 95+ channels
- Basic Hulu
- Disney+
- ESPN+
Fubo offers multiple plans to choose from but SEC Network is only available through the Fubo Extra or Sports Plus add-ons. Bundling either of these with the cheapest Pro plan increases the cost to a minimum of $87.98 a month, excluding the RSN fee. Subscribers can also sign up to the $99.99/mo Elite with Sports Plus package, which automatically includes SEC Network (via the Sports Plus add-on).
$80-100/mo
- 195-270 channels
- 10 streams
- Unlimited DVR
Deal: First month starting at $49.99.
Next up is DirecTV Stream. With live TV plans starting at $79.99 a month, DirecTV Stream is one of the more expensive options. What’s more, access to SEC Network requires the subscriber to sign up to Choice or higher, increasing the cost to a minimum of $108.99 a month.
$80-165/mo
- 90-185 channels
- Unlimited streams

Deal: Save up to $60 on 3 months.
SEC Network And TV Everywhere
In addition to streaming SEC Network through a live TV service’s app or website, subscribers can also watch live through the SEC Sports website or by downloading the ESPN app on a supported device. However, this route still requires an active live TV subscription.
This is made possible through TV Everywhere support. As SEC Network is delivered through ESPN, all of the live TV streaming services that provide TV Everywhere support for ESPN also typically provide support for SEC Network as well, so long as SEC Network is included in their package.
With this in mind, Sling TV, YouTube TV, Hulu Live TV, Fubo and DirecTV Stream all provide TV Everywhere support for SEC Network, making it possible for subscribers to sign in to the app or website using their existing live TV account details.
If considering signing up to Sling TV to stream SEC Network, TV Everywhere support is going to be additionally beneficial. The reason for this is that the Sling Orange plan limits the number of devices that can stream at the same time to just one. By taking advantage of Sling TV’s TV Everywhere support, subscribers can watch SEC Network without having to sacrifice their one and only simultaneous stream.
