I'm assuming it will be blacked out in the Greenville area. Where can I go to watch it? I do have SlingTV (that I can access from my phone) if that helps.

Any help would be appreciated.

The game will be on ABC. That won't be blacked out.

There are a lot of problems receiving ABC over the air in the upstate. WLOS Channel 13 broadcasts from Mt Pisgah southwest of Asheville. Even with a large digital antenna and amplifier I can't even pick up a weak ABC signal here in Greenville's eastside. Years ago, WLOS broadcasted their signal from the transmitter on the Anderson University campus and the upstate had a strong ABC signal over the air. Sadly, that is not the case anymore. I'll be going out to the local wing joint to watch the Clemson game.

Good point. I have the same issue with my antenna. I wonder if ABC streams via their website. If they do not, I may need to join you at the wing joint!

Watch ESPN. If you know anyone that still has cable or satellite and is willing to give you their log in, you can stream it.

Get yourself a popup blocker, and go to firstrowsports(google it). You can usually find pretty much any live sports on there. the quality ain't great depending on the stream, but for free...can't beat it.

Assuming you have the Sling package that has ESPN, you can watch the game through the watch ESPN app. Just login using your sling credentials. I've watched numerous ABC games that way even though ABC isn't part of Sling, because of the weak over the air ABC signal. I think the only streaming blackouts that exist for ESPN now is if they sell the broadcast rights to a regional sports network, like Fox Sports South.

Awesome! Yeah, I have the SlingTV package ($20/month) that included ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3 and I believe WatchESPN is through my Roku. But I didnt know WatchESPN = ABC. Nice! Thanks much! This is a game that I DO NOT want to miss!

Yep. ESPN and ABC are both owned by Disney. Anytime an "ESPN" game airs on ABC, you'll be able to get it.

Same with Monday Night Football on NBC. And SEC on CBS games can be streamed with the CBS app.
