This old man needs tech support & my grandkids have moved away to college.
We have You Tube TV thru AT&T. We get the SEC Network, but the SEC+ games are not offered.
Is there a work around available?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Do you have access to the ESPN app? If so, you can access SEC+ from there.

Might want to wait until new ESPN app comes out in fall 2025. That would get you all the SEC content you will need.

ESPN plans to charge between $25 and $30 per month for the new service.

If a proposed deal with ESPN and the NFL goes through. The league could potentially become an equity partner in the network through the deal, multiple outlets have reported, which would see ESPN take over the NFL Network, NFL+, Red Zone and other media assets. The deal could expand ESPN's access to football games (it currently has the rights to broadcast 25 games per season). The network is also in talks with the NBA to renew its rights package for basketball games.

This. You have to sign in through TV provider in the app. For you, this would be Youtube TV.

Why? He literally just needs to Download the ESPN APP, Sign in through his TV Provider, and Select the game he wants to watch.

This takes less than 5 minutes and you're telling him to wait 6 fricking months.

Step 1- NEVER EVER listen to anything NicholasTiger says

Step 2- download ESPN app

Step 3- log in through your TV provider (in your case YouTube TV) on the ESPN app - do not try to log into ESPN+, there is a log in for your cable provider.

Step 4- watch SECN+

If you have trouble finding where to sign in, pick a game to watch in the app on the main screen. It should then prompt you to sign in.

This link is for LSU Women’s game @ Tennessee on Thursday. It should give you the option to login to SECN+

That would work, as long as the game he's not picking to watch is on ESPN+. If you are going this route, just try to click to watch whatever is on SEC Network currently.

Go to Hulu.com, sign up for Hulu and ESPN+ and you will get Disney+ and maybe Max for $5/ mo as a bundleand after 3 months the bundle is only $14.99/ moafterwards. Great deal and get to see all LSU sports!

You will not get the SEC+ stuff on YouTubeTV but you are entitled to it via streaming. Load the free ESPN App and you will be able to view SEC+. If you want ESPN+ you will need a ESPN subscription.

first check whatever packages you have with your streaming provider and your internet provider, call customer support if you have to,
otherwise get an espn subscription for just one month and/or continue to pay for it if you want it longer

I’m pretty sure I tried this the other day and when I selected the LSU women’s game I got a message the “event is not available in your area” or something like that. I could watch other stuff on the ESPN app, but not the LSU women’s game on SEC+.

Iam 54. Think the youngsters consider anybody over forty boomers. All fun and games until they get that first grey hair. And then it's down hill fast.

If you are logged in with a cable subscription that catches SECN then you 100% can stream SECN+ through the ESPN app. So you either didn't log in, or you don't have SECN on whatever cable service you have.

For some reason I had to log out (it showed I was logged in through YouTube TV) and then log in again using YouTube TV. Then it worked.
