The game is obviously on ABC, but I ditched cable. Will it stream on the ESPN app?

Yes, but in order to play it, you'll need to put in your cable provider information. Since you ditched it, I don't think you can, but I might be wrong.
 
Have to have a subscription to some provider, even the streaming services. U can see the same channels that you subscribe to. Also, being on ABC, you can always buy an antenna.
 
You need a cable subscription login.

And also have to pay for ESPN plus which is $5.99 per month.
 
Find a friend with a cable subscription that has ESPN and ask for their login info. Get on it now and test it. I've had many lengthy periods without cable and watching Canes games has been a total nightmare.
 
I have a friends dish login info and they have ABC. I haven't heard of that ESPN plus tho.
 
ABC you should be able to get a 15$ digital antenna. I use my dads login for watchespn and i use a chromecast 35$ to zap it from my phone to tv. I've found that the watch espn app from my phone works better than watch espn from PC. Idk why but it does.

If all else fails google college football streams on reddit. They usually have links.

The downside of watchespn is it goes blank during commercial breaks and occasionally you'll have to restart the feed. It's not that bad though.

Theu don't show games on WatchESPN that are on ABC in the area you login with. So maybe if you have a friend with Cable getting an ESPN broadcast of the game? I don't think you'll have much luck with a Sunday game. Get an arial and google antenna aiming for your address. Or go to a sports bar.
 
Just use a friend or family member login. Simple as that. Plus, you can use the same login multiple times, for example, if said friend's brother is using it, you can too.
 
ABC is available without a cable subscription. I have a multidirectional antenna in my attic and receive numerous HD channels over an antenna. No login in needed. It's a National Channel
 
I would just buy an antenna if you live pretty close to a broadcast area. You can get CBS, Fox, ABC, NBC and more in better HD than cable and completely free. I tried many kinds and can't pick up any, I live 90 miles either direction of a broadcast area. I'm thinking about putting one outside near the roof.

I was wondering how they work in an attic but I have a metal roof. I was thinking maybe that was blocking it, I've tried numerous indoor ones at 80+ mile ranges and amplified; got 0 channels.

You can mount them outside. Wood frame or block house?

What TV streaming service you have? Some of them, if not all add local channels to their lineup, especially DirectvNow streaming. SlingTV does that too. If you don't have ABC as a local channel on your streaming service lineup you can still have WatchESPN by choosing your streaming TV service as TV provider and it will take you to your TV provider website to sign in
