The Division I college baseball season is almost here, which means roughly 100 games will be played every weekend from now until the end of May. This is arguably the best time of year for baseball fans. But with so many games on at once, it can be a bit challenging to find exactly where to watch your favorite teams and players.
We can help. Below, we’ve put together a college baseball streaming guide to help make sense of all the options available. The good news for college baseball fans? It has never been easier to watch and stream the game, especially if you have an ESPN+ subscription.

To access said games, you will be prompted to sign in with your provider and your information should be remembered for future access. These channels are not accessible on TV, so you will most likely be relegated to watching on your computer or phone.
The Big Ten offers a baseball-specific option
The Big Ten is rather straightforward. Most major cable providers carry the Big Ten Network, and so do the main streaming services such as Fubo, Hulu Live TV, Sling and YouTube TV.

A paid subscription is required, you can purchase a baseball-only subscription for $39.99 a year. You would…
