OK gang, I'm a full streamer, have no cable packages and only use the basics (Netflix, Max, Prime, ESPN+). I am constantly confused as to how and where to stream (and replay) our football games. Sometimes you can use ESPN+, sometimes you can't; sometimes you can use Hulu or Youtube, sometimes you can't. Sometimes blacked out, sometimes it's not. Is anybody able to advise me on how to stream and replay every Tech football game? Is there one package out there that anybody knows about?

You would need access to the main ESPN lineup of channels (not Plus). As far as I know that is only available on YouTube, Hulu+, Sling, DIRECTV stream.
Those should also give you access if Tech is on "over the air" channels like ABC. There is some uncertainty where to find the CW games.

I believe you will need to be able to stream the major networks, ACC Network, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, and the CW network in order to see most games. Since we also play SEC teams on occasion, you might also want to explore streaming the SEC Network as well.
Your ESPN+ subscription should, I think, take care of most other games.
I'm far from an expert, but I believe your best bet is a Sling Orange subscription ($40), which gets you ESPN and ESPN2. You can then add-on for ACCN, SECN, and ESPNU with Sling Orange. (I have no idea how much the add-ons would cost.) The major networks should be available via Sling or over-the-air, if you have an antenna and tuner. That leaves the CW as the outlier, and Sling doesn't offer that to my knowledge. I do, however, believe the CW has its own streaming app that is free.
That's my best guess. There may very well be other options I'm not aware of. Hope this helps.

I have FUBO, and according to what I can tell, I have the ESPNs, ACCN, and the CW. As well as Bally.

Do you like FUBO? I ask because I've seriously considered switching from DirectTV Stream to FUBO, but my hangup is that FUBO doesn't have the Warner Discovery networks (TNT, TBS, etc.), and that's a deal-breaker for me since I wouldn't be able to see early-round NCAA Bball Tourney games.

That is the downside of FUBO. That and their rates have gone up. I've had it a couple of years now. I think I will look around again.

All very helpful, thank you all! One followon question: for these live streaming services (Fubo, Sling, DirectStream, Youtube), can you also watch replays? Or record/watch later?

I think they all have DVR (recording) capablities.
YouTubeTV's DVR is very good and works great
DirectTVs used to be behind them but it works well now. This is who I currently use. The only reason I use them is because they have Bally's (Sports South) and I need that to watch the Braves/Hawks but they are the most expensive.

YouTubeTV will record all the televised games for the teams you choose.

Not a bad choice. BUT the clicks to get from one venue to another is irritating.

Excuse me, but this all seems very involved. Why not just use Comcast/Xfinity cable and get everything with the ease of entering a channel for your various choices? Thx.

Because of price and Customer No-Service.

A VPN was useful with ESPN+ in the past but with Ballys out of the picture for ACC coverage, there may not be any games that are blacked out.

Are you sure Fubo had the CW channel? I switched from Youtube tv to Fubo just after the alstar break and I haven't found it? However, I'm pretty sure that YouTube tv does have it.
Also, regarding the CW app, I don't think you can get local live streaming on it.
Edit - anybody want to guess what the first away game will be on the CW this season? Looks like I'll have to get an HD antenna to watch the local CW channel if I want to keep watching the Braves on Fubo. Watching the f'n RSN games can never be easy.

It's ok...I liked Directv the best, but their customer service was so horrible, and the rates kept going up, so we switched. I honestly use it only for the Braves. It's the only streaming service with Bally, and our family just loves to watch them. I'm going to see how it works for College Football. If it's not good, I'll cancel and look around. If the Braves don't get a Bally streaming deal though, I'll probably stick with it. It is about $50 a month less my Directv bill was.

FWIW, I just googled FUBO's channel lineup and I did not see CW listed. I have FUBO, so I am think I can get CW over the air.

Same here. Need to have an antenna before the 9/23 WF game.

Looking at the Atlanta television schedule for this coming Saturday, I don’t see the ACC Game of the Week at Noon(BC vs. N.Illinois). Ch. 69 is going independent in September. No CW channel over the air, DTV coming in this area.

So much for the "100% of households have access to the CW channel". I guess it's a good thing that I live in the Savannah area and can still get it over the air (I hope).

FWIW, Northern Illinois at BC is on ACC Network. The ACC-CW package doesn't begin until Week 2 when Cincinnati travels to Pitt on Sep. 9 with kickoff at 6:30pmET.

I put this comparison chart together a few weeks ago. I'm not guaranteeing it's 100% correct, but it should be pretty close.
Also, I asked @accsports via social media about whether the CW app would be live-streaming ACC games. No response yet. However, an article out today in The Athletic (https://theathletic.com/4815215/2023/08/29/college-football-tv-guide-cable-streaming-price/) seems to imply that they will be shown on the CW app.
ALso, I show the CW as included in the FUBO packages, though I've seen the discussion about the network only being available in certain markets.
I don't know if this helps anyone, but thought I'd throw it in here... Also, I don't know how to make the image larger - sorry about that.
