Find the correct DIRECTV channel
Use the guide's search function for the teams and November 4, then open the listing to check its network and scheduled start. Our ESPN2 channel guide provides related lineup information. Confirm the current number on the receiver or app you actually plan to watch.
ESPN2 is the named telecast for this game. A similarly named sports channel or a different game listed on another network is not a substitute. This page does not quote a package price or promise that every DIRECTV subscription carries the same set of channels.
Match your reminder to the live kickoff
The November 4 date is a Wednesday. Check the time zone shown by your television guide, especially if you are traveling or helping someone in a different part of the country. The Pacific start is 4:30 p.m. PT; the Eastern start in the table refers to that same live game.
If recording, select the actual matchup and inspect the recording settings available with your service. A reminder alone does not create a recording. Recheck the guide before kickoff for any official scheduling changes rather than relying on a saved image or an older search result.
Check access on the screen you will use
For a receiver, confirm that the channel opens with your current subscription. For an app or other viewing option, inspect the game listing, account sign-in and supported-device requirements. Installing an app does not by itself establish that your account can play this particular telecast.
Location and service terms can affect viewing options. ZIP screening is preliminary; review the available plan and channels for the full service address. No free stream, trial length, universal app entitlement or guaranteed reception is promised here.
Keep the rest of your football viewing plan separate
The Week 10 college football schedule and MAC championship guide cover other viewing decisions. Their network assignments should not replace the specific ESPN2 listing for this November 4 game.
Before changing a subscription, review its complete recurring cost, required equipment and the actual channels included. If watching away from home, verify the listing on that device and account beforehand. This guide concentrates on the confirmed game date, venue, time and network rather than unverified player availability, betting lines or predictions.
