The Boise State Broncos and the Washington Huskies are among the first teams to play a college football bowl game this season. The teams will meet this Saturday, Dec. 13 for the L.A. Bowl at SoFi Stadium, with kickoff scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. (Forgive us for not referring to the game by its officially sponsored name this year, the Bucked Up LA Bowl Hosted By Gronk.) Boise State earned their spot in the bowl as winners of the Mountain West division – this year marks their second appearance in the five-year-old bowl game. The Huskies, who have never appeared in the L.A. Bowl, are representing the Big 10. You can find the latest odds and predictions for the bowl game here.

Where to watch the Boise State vs. Washington game without cable:
You can tune in to the Boise State vs. Washington game on ABC as part of ESPN on ABC. ABC is available on streaming platforms including DirecTV and Sling, but for the most comprehensive college football coverage, you can also watch this game and hundreds more this season on the ESPN App with an ESPN Unlimited subscription.
ESPN’s new streaming service is divided into two tiers: the ESPN Unlimited package and the ESPN Select package.
For $29.99, the ESPN Unlimited package includes access to all of ESPN’s linear networks: ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SECN, ACCN, ESPNews, and ESPN Deportes, as well as access to programming on ABC, ESPN+, ESPN3, SECN+, and ACCNX. That means fans will get coverage of more than 47,000 live events each year, on-demand replays, original programming and more.
Right now, for a limited time, you can bundle ESPN Unlimited with Disney+ and Hulu and pay $29.99/month for 12 months — that’s like getting those other services free for a year! Even if you’re a current subscriber to Disney+, Hulu or even the bundle, you can still upgrade to this great deal.
Not interested in a bundle? ESPN Select (also referred to as ESPN+) is still an option. For $11.99/month, you can tune in and get exclusive access to events like select NCAA football games, F1 driver cams, simulcasts of certain sports that air on other channels and PPV access to UFC fights.
DirecTV is currently offering its Choice tier (typically $108+/month with fees) for just $79.98 (after fees) for your first month.
DirecTV’s Choice tier gets you access to all the usual football suspects: NBC, NFL Network, ESPN, The CW, ABC, CBS and Fox, plus ACC Network, Big Ten Network, SEC Network and plenty more local Regional Sports Networks. (If you want to avoid paying the RSN fees, the Entertainment Tier has plenty of channels you can catch NFL games on, too.)
Whichever package you choose, you’ll get unlimited Cloud DVR storage and access to ESPN+’s new streaming tier, ESPN Unlimited.
The best part is that you can currently try all this out for free for 5 days. So if you’re interested in trying out a live TV streaming service for football season, but aren’t ready to commit, we recommend starting with DirecTV.
