Texas Longhorn football holds the edge in all-time games against the Baylor Bears, winning the last meeting between the two teams, as well as six of the last eight. But don't count the battered and bruised 1-2 Bears out just yet. They're going into week four looking for a huge upset against the Longhorns to ruin their perfect 3-0 record in primetime.
If you can't make it out to Waco to watch the action unfold live, you can always tune in at home — even if you don't have cable. Here's what you need to know to watch.
Kickoff time and network
The 3-0 Texas Longhorns take on the 1-2 Baylor Bears at McLane Stadium in Waco, Texas at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, Sept. 23. The game will be televised in primetime on ABC or ESPN3 for those with cable access, but those without cable can still catch the action live using a live TV streaming service.
Best streaming services for Texas vs. Baylor football matchup
Looking to tune into the Texas vs. Baylor game live, but recently got rid of your cable contract? No worries. You'll need a live TV streaming service to watch college football this season — including the primetime Longhorns vs. Bears game this weekend.
A live TV streamer can act as a cable replacement and let you stream ABC and other local and national channels live. While it costs more than a dedicated streaming service such as Paramount+, ESPN+, or Peacock, a live TV streaming service ultimately serves you better in the long run if you're looking to tune into college football games throughout the season. Plus, in the instance of the Texas vs. Baylor game, it's the only way to watch live without a cable contract.
Below, we've broken down the best live TV streaming deals for the Texas vs. Baylor game and beyond.

Most affordable live TV streaming service: Sling TV (Orange package)
Opens in a new window Credit: Sling Sling TV (Orange package) Unfortunately, Sling TV isn't currently offering a free trial, but it is offering 50% off your first month of service. And considering it's already the most affordable live TV streaming service on this list at $40/month, that's a pretty attractive offer. Though it does offer a smaller library of channels overall compared to the other options, it's still a decent choice for watching college football live.
