The Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns and the Lamar Cardinals are set to meet in an NCAAF Week 1 matchup on Saturday, September 5, with kickoff scheduled for 8:00 p.m. ET, or 7:00 p.m. CT. For viewers searching now, that means the game has a fixed start time and a simple answer on where to find it: Select is the television channel listed for the matchup.
The timing matters because Week 1 games tend to draw attention as fans sort out where to watch before kickoff. In this case, the game sits squarely in the Saturday night window, which makes the listing especially useful for anyone planning around other college football broadcasts and looking for a clear start point.
What makes the watch guide less straightforward is the number of service-based paths attached to one game. + and Unlimited are both listed as streaming options, while Fubo includes Unlimited and offers a five-day free trial for new subscribers. That gives viewers more than one route, but it can also blur the simplest choice if they only want to turn on the game without sorting through subscriptions.
There are also broader ways to reach live football through other services, including DirecTV Stream for local broadcast networks and national sports channels like and FS1, YouTube TV with NFL Sunday Ticket for out-of-market games, and Fubo for local affiliates such as CBS, FOX, and NBC, plus NFL Network and RedZone. ExpressVPN is presented as a VPN option for bypassing local TV blackouts, while DAZN's NFL Game Pass is described as carrying every game live, and Paramount+ is listed as an app for live, in-market CBS Sunday afternoon games.
For this matchup, though, none of those extras changes the core plan. The next confirmed moment is still the same: Saturday, September 5, at 8:00 p.m. ET. That is when fans of the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns and the Lamar Cardinals get their answer on the field, after sorting out which screen will carry it.
