As of midnight on Friday morning, YouTube TV customers no longer have access to ESPN channels due to an ongoing carriage dispute between those companies.
As a result, millions of SEC football fans won’t be able to watch their team play this weekend unless a resolution is reached. That includes a top-25 matchup between Vanderbilt and Texas on Saturday that will carry College Football Playoff implications for both teams.
