Louisiana-Lafayette and Lamar are set to meet in a Week 1 Charlotte football matchup on Saturday, Sept. 5, with kickoff scheduled for 8:00 p.m. ET and 7:00 p.m. CT. The game will be televised on Select.
That start time matters because it gives viewers a clear window for a game that sits squarely in the opening week of the season, when schedules are crowded and fans are sorting out where to watch. + and Unlimited are also listed as streaming options, which puts the game in the path of subscribers already using ’s digital services.
The viewing path is not quite as simple as a single channel listing. Fubo includes Unlimited and offers a five-day free trial for new subscribers, but a credit or debit card is required to activate it, and users are not charged if they cancel before the trial ends. That leaves one route to the game that can look free at first glance, while still depending on a trial sign-up to get there.
For viewers comparing services, the rest of the menu is broader than this matchup alone. Fubo also carries local broadcast affiliates CBS, FOX, and NBC, along with NFL Network and RedZone, while DirecTV Stream carries local broadcast networks and key national sports channels like and FS1. YouTube TV allows users to add NFL Sunday Ticket for out-of-market games, Paramount+ carries live, in-market CBS Sunday afternoon games, and a VPN like ExpressVPN is mentioned as a way to bypass local TV blackouts. DAZN's NFL Game Pass is also described as including every game live.
For fans of the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns and the Lamar Cardinals, the practical answer is straightforward: the game is scheduled, the kickoff is late evening ET, and the broadcast and streaming options are already set. The only remaining question is which route viewers will use when Saturday night arrives.
