One of the strongest rivalries in the SEC is about to write a new chapter when the Volunteers take on the Crimson Tide at Neyland Stadium. Yes, the third Saturday in October this year feels a lot like a playoff elimination game. Both No. 11 Tennessee (5-1) and No. 7 Alabama (5-1) are coming off nerve-wracking victories that were preceded by unexpected losses. Undoubtedly, it will be an exciting Saturday for fans. So, get ready with your snacks. But hold on, where to watch?

Well, the matchup between Tennessee and Alabama will air on ABC at 3:30 p.m. ET on October 19. Don’t have a cable connection? No need to worry, friends. There are streaming options available for Saturday’s matchup. The game can be streamed with platforms like Sling TV, and ESPN+. However, one thing to keep in mind is that subscription charges will be applied per regional restrictions. If you want to go for a trial before subscription, that’s also present.

Fubo provides a seven-day trial period. But after seven days, you have to pay a subscription fee in order to use Fubo. However, if you are not a streaming person, there is also a choice for you. You can hear this Tennessee vs. Alabama game over the radio, Channel 191.

As a result, there are several options available to guarantee that, regardless of how you choose to watch, you don’t miss a moment of the action. But first, have an overall impression of the team’s current situation before you start watching.

Nitty-gritty on Tennessee vs. Alabama

A week after losing to Arkansas on the road, Josh Heupel’s Tennessee overcame Florida 23–17 in overtime. Meanwhile, Alabama narrowly defeated South Carolina, 27–25, after pulling off a dramatic upset at Vanderbilt. Every fan base is nervous due to Tennessee and Alabama’s unsteady performance in recent weeks. Although Alabama has proven it can prevail in a game akin to a track meet and is the more explosive squad, its defense hasn’t played up to par, thus far this season. Commodores frequently outplayed Alabama’s defense to get what it needed on third down.

The Tide should not pose any problems for Nashville when they rush the ball, but it remains to be seen if Nico Iamaleava can generate enough big plays to win a game like this. Despite Tennessee’s lackluster performance this season—aside from the loss to Arkansas—he hasn’t been able to keep up with it.

Hence, both teams have the talent to be legitimate SEC and national championship contenders. Particularly considering that Tennessee is scheduled to go to No. 5 Georgia on November 16, and Alabama still faces No. 19 Missouri and No. 8 LSU. So, when it comes to selection day, a victory will go a long way, but a defeat on Saturday will demand excellence the rest of the way.
