Are you ready for some (college) football? Bowl season continues when Army battles North Texas in the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl!

Live from the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, the Black Knights of Army will attempt to thwart Mason Fine, Jeffrey Wilson, and the rest of the North Texas team. Who will leave Dallas with the victory? Let’s find out!

WHAT TIME DOES THE HEART OF DALLAS BOWL BEGIN?

The Heart of Dallas Bowl kicks off at 12:00 P.M. Eastern.

HOW DO I LIVE STREAM THE HEART OF DALLAS BOWL?

The Heart of Dallas Bowl will be available to watch on ESPN, which means it is also being livestreamed on the Worldwide Leader’s excellent WatchESPN app. 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). Plus, don’t forget that there’s also PlayStation Vue. Subscribers to their ‘Access’ basic cable streaming service have access to ESPN.

Another option is DirecTV Now, a new live streaming service similar to Sling TV and PlayStation Vue. ESPN is currently available in multiple packages, which begin at $35 per month.

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.
