How to watch or stream Duke vs Clemson ACC college football game Monday
Ever since Duke throttled UCF, 30-13, to win the Military Bowl last December to complete a surprising 9-4 season, the Blue Devils knew they’d have to prove their football prowess once again this season.
The first test will be among the most formidable.
No. 9 Clemson makes its first trip to Wallace Wade Stadium since 2012 and will meet Duke at 8 p.m. in a nationally televised.
The Tigers won the ACC last season. Duke carried a 13-game ACC losing streak into last season and shattered it by going 5-3 in league play. Duke returns 19 starters, including a pair of preseason all-ACC players in left tackle Graham Barton and defensive tackle DeWayne Carter plus junior quarterback Riley Leonard.
The question people who weren’t able to get a ticket to watch Duke-Clemson are asking is how to see the game on TV. Spectrum cable and ESPN are in a carriage dispute, so all Disney-owned channels are unavailable on the region’s most widely available cable television provider.
Kickoff time + TV channel for Clemson-Duke
The Tigers and Blue Devils begin their season at Durham’s Wallace Wade Stadium at 8 p.m. Monday. The game airs on ESPN. Unless the dispute is solved, the game won’t be available for Spectrum customers because all ESPN channels have been blacked out.
How to stream the Tigers vs. Blue Devils matchup
Fans without cable, or frustrated Spectrum customers, can still catch the game on several streaming services. DIRECTV Stream, fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV all carry ESPN. The ESPN+ subscription service will also stream the game.
