Where to watch and how to follow Saturday’s college football game between Coach Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats (1-0) and Coach Walt Wells and the Eastern Kentucky Colonels (0-1):

Game time is 3 p.m. EDT at Kroger Field (capacity 61,000) on the campus of the University of Kentucky.

Television

None: The game telecast is available only via Internet streaming on the digital SEC Network Plus or ESPN Plus platforms.

Where to find SEC Network Plus or ESPN Plus:

Under normal circumstances, If you have a cable subscription that includes the SEC Network, you should be able to stream the SEC Network Plus broadcast for free via the WatchESPN app.

However, due to the impasse between Disney and Charter Communications, which has led to Disney-owned channels such as ESPN and the SEC Network disappearing from Charter-owned cable systems such as Spectrum, viewers who are Spectrum cable subscribers will not be able to access the broadcast of UK-EKU via SEC Network Plus.

However, ESPN publicist Amanda Brooks says if you subscribe to ESPN Plus, you should be able to stream the game via that platform.

You can contact ESPN Customer Service at (888) 549-3776, (800) 727-1800 or at https://support.espn.com/hc/en-us
