The UNC women’s soccer team will play for its 23rd national championship and first since 2012 Monday night in Cary. The Tar Heels will take on No. 1 seed UCLA. The Bruins defeated Carolina in Chapel Hill earlier this season, knocking the Tar Heels out of the No. 1 ranking in the process.
If you aren’t making the trip to Cary for the match, here’s how to follow along at home:
TV Schedule
Television coverage of the match begins at 6 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPNU. As of today, Spectrum, AT&T, Dish Network, Xfinity and DirecTV all carry ESPN and ESPNU.
What if I don’t have cable?
A live stream will be available on ESPN’s digital platforms.
Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry ESPNU.
YouTube TV prices at $65/month and carries the entire ESPN family of networks, including ESPNU.
Hulu TV also goes for $70/month and includes ESPN and ESPNU.
Sling TV is the cheapest option at $40/month for the Orange package. Be sure to avoid Sling Blue, as that package does not carry ESPN.
