The one thing that trips people up

American Athletic Conference is a streaming-first conference. The single biggest bucket is ESPN's direct-to-consumer service, not a channel you can find by scrolling a cable guide — which is exactly why these games feel impossible to locate. Fubo's Sports + News, Pro and Elite plans all include ESPN Unlimited, so the streaming games and the linear ones come from the same subscription.

Varies by market: CW (2 games) and USA Network (2 games). Some Group of 5 games air on The CW. The CW reaches most viewers through a local broadcast affiliate, and Fubo's local channel lineup varies by ZIP — check your ZIP at signup rather than assuming.
