Who’s ready for some exciting college football bowl action?

Live from Albuquerque, New Mexico, the 8-4 New Mexico Lobos take on the 6-6 Roadrunners of UTSA in the 11th annual New Mexico Bowl? Teriyon Gipson and Tyrone Ownes lead the way for New Mexico, while Jarveon Williams and Jalen Rhodes are certainly players worth watching on UTSA. Who do you think will win the 2016 New Mexico Bowl?

WHAT TIME DOES THE NEW MEXICO BOWL BEGIN?

The New Mexico Bowl kicks off at 2:00 P.M. Eastern.

HOW DO I LIVE STREAM THE NEW MEXICO BOWL?

The New Mexico Bowl will be available to watch on ESPN, which means it is also being livestreamed on the Worldwide Leader’s excellent WatchESPN app, as well as Sling TV. Unfortunately, you’ll need to authenticate with a cable provider if you want to watch the game on Watch ESPN, so get your (or your friend’s/parent’s!) login credentials ready.

All you cordcutters out there can watch this afternoon’s game via Sling TV, whose Orange package carries both ESPN and ESPN2 (more on Sling below).

And there’s also PlayStation Vue. Subscribers to their ‘Access’ basic cable streaming service have access to ESPN.

HOW CAN I GET THE WATCH ESPN APP?

If you consider yourself a sports fan and you haven’t already downloaded the free Watch ESPN app for your iOS, Android or Windows Mobile device, you’re doing it wrong. Rectify that situation immediately! You can also tune-in via Watch ESPN’s Roku channel, using your Amazon Fire TV or Chromecast device, or by visiting WatchESPN.com on your desktop or laptop computer. (NOTE: You’re going to need to authenticate with your cable provider, so make sure you have your login and password for your cable system handy.)

HOW CAN I GET SLING TV?

This is a terrific time to check out Sling TV. The service’s Orange package, which includes access to ESPN, ESPN 2, Comedy Central, and TNT, normally costs $20 a month, but the company is currently offering subscribers a free one-week trial of the service. Then, from there, you can either download the Sling desktop app (if you’re watching on a desktop or laptop computer), or download the Sling app for iOS/Apple devices, Android, Roku, Microsoft, Nexus player, ZTE or XBox One.
