How to watch Butler football without cable

Most televised Butler games stream on ESPN's direct-to-consumer service rather than a cable channel — that's why they're hard to find in a channel guide. Fubo's plans include ESPN Unlimited, which covers those.

Varies by market: Scripps Sports (1 game). Local channel availability depends on your ZIP, which Fubo confirms at signup.
