The No. 1 Michigan Wolverines (13-0) will make their third-straight appearance in the College Football Playoff on New Year’s Day. Their first two trips have not resulted in a shot to play for the national title, but Jim Harbaugh and his squad are hoping to turn that around when they go head-to-head with Nick Saban’s No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide (12-1) in the Rose Bowl on Monday, Jan. 1. The two blue-blood programs will face off for just the sixth time when the game kicks off at 5 p.m. ET on ESPN. The winner will take on the team that survives the Sugar Bowl, either No. 2 Washington or No. 3 Texas. The Streamable recommends watching the game on Sling TV, the cheapest way to watch all of College Football Playoff action.

Why Is Sling TV the Best Streaming Service to Watch the CFP Semifinal Rose Bowl Between Michigan and Alabama?

The Streamable has been researching, analyzing, and reporting on the streaming landscape since 2017, so we understand all of the factors that go into picking the right service to watch your favorite shows, movies, and sporting events. If you are specifically wanting to tune into the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, then, in The Streamable’s expert opinion, Sling TV is the best live TV streaming service for you.

The live streamer is currently offering new customers 50% off their first month of service, which means that you can stream both of the College Football Playoff semifinals and the National Championship Game on Jan. 8 for just $20. Of course, after the end of the college football season, you’ll still have three more weeks at Sling’s introductory rate. And while some services offer limited free trials, if you care enough to watch the semifinals, chances are that you are probably going to be interested in next week’s title game too.

ESPN is available on other live streaming services, but they all will cost you more, so Sling is The Streamable’s recommendation. So, if you want to watch the Rose Bowl between Alabama and Michigan, we suggest that you take advantage of Sling TV’s limited-time offer to get you 50% off your first month of any plan they offer.

What Are Your Subscription Options to Stream the Alabama vs. Michigan Rose Bowl on Sling TV?

Yes! You can watch the Alabama vs. Michigan game on ESPN with a subscription to Sling TV. For a limited time, you can get 50% off your first month of any plan that the live TV streaming service offers. Without the deal, the Sling Blue package (which includes ABC, Fox, NBC, and other major sports carriers) costs $40 per month, but you can subscribe for just $20 for the first month. Likewise, the Orange plan runs $40 but includes ESPN, TBS, and TNT, but you can get it for 50% off for one month.

But, wait, there’s more! If you can’t live without all of the channels from both of Sling’s plans, you can get Orange and Blue for just $27.50 for the first month, half off the normal $55. If you go with the combo plan, you will get all of the channels mentioned above as well as other channels that cover college sports, like ACC Network, ACC Network Extra, ESPNU, FS1, Longhorn Network, Pac-12 Network, and SEC Network.
