First, being a Florida Gators football team supporter, you have to ensure that you do not miss any of the games during the game day. With a Dish Network subscription, it is important to know which channel to tune in to for the Gators game to get a highlight of the event. Below is the list showing where to find the Gators games this season provided you are using Dish Network.
Can Your Regional Sports Network Be Trusted
Over-the-air affiliates for most Gators games airing during the regular season are regional sports networks. For those living in Florida, the primary avenue to watch Gators games will be the SEC Network Alternate channel. This channel is particularly designed to air all the matchups of the SEC conference all through the season.
This station is on Channel 611 of Dish Network American Top and other higher channel packages. Thus, if a person subscribes to a qualifying Dish Network package, all he or she must do is tune into the television on channel 611 to watch Gator games. This will get you ready for all things Gators with pregame, halftime, and postgame shows as well.
Knowing further regional Fox Sports channel is also important too. It may sometimes broadcast games at Fox Sports Florida (CH. 654), Sun Sports (CH. 655), and Fox Sports South (CH. 646). If you wish to know which regional sports network has the Gators game in a particular week then you should look out for Dish’s TV Listings or program guide on your Dish receiver. Having all those channels in your Dish line-up pre-set ensures that no big play slips through your fingertips.
Out-of-Market Fans
Alternatively, if you reside in any region other than the Florida broadcast area, you can still get Gators games through Dish Network by tuning into the SEC Network. SEC Network is a sports network television service that focuses on college sports belonging to the SEC conference. WUFT broadcasts several Gators football games in a single season.
The SEC Network is available on DISH and can be found on channel 611 if you have the package America’s Top 120+ or above. If you have this package or better, then simply sit back and enjoy the Gators live every Saturday on the SEC Network no matter where you are.
SEC Network is also on Channel 408; however, this package requires upgrading to Dish’s Multi-Sport Pack. Thus, if you are not subscribed to any of Dish’s qualifying basic packages, you can subscribe to the Multi-Sport Pack at $12 monthly to watch the SEC Network on channel 408. This means that you are assured of having a station that will be airing Gators games for the entire season irrespective of your location.
Streaming Options
In addition to Dish's satellite broadcasting of Gators games, you can also stream games live through Dish's streaming platforms:
- Dish Anywhere – Dish customers can watch the Dish Anywhere app on their mobile devices or PCs also and thus watch Gators games on the SEC Network and other regional channels.
- Sling TV – Sling TV is a streaming service that is owned by Dish, and it allows soccer fans to get the Sling Orange package for $35 per month, which includes the SEC Network and ACC Network. These channels will display most of the Florida Gators games for people who are unable to watch them live in Florida.
Therefore, you should either log on to Dish’s online directory or the program guide to check which channel hosts your game at the start time. Identify all the SEC and regional sports network channels that are available and how to tune into them depending on the type of Dish package. Regarding Dish, you will never be lost when looking for the channel broadcasting the big game when there are so many Dish broadcasting and streaming choices.
