Nevada's November 2 preview identifies Friday, November 6, at Mackay Stadium on CBS Sports Network. New Mexico's November 3 preview explicitly gives 6 p.m. Pacific / 7 p.m. Mountain, equivalent to 9 p.m. Eastern. Use the current game listing if the broadcaster or teams announce a later change.

Find the correct channel and game

Open your DIRECTV guide, find channel 221 and select the November 6 football entry. Confirm the two teams and start time rather than relying solely on the general channel name. Check the guide for the service address and account you actually use.

The CBS Sports Network on DIRECTV guide provides related channel information. If the channel is unavailable, review your package, any applicable add-on and device access. Channel inclusion can differ by plan and delivery service.

Check streaming access before kickoff

If you plan to use an app instead of a receiver, test the intended device and account before the game. Sign-in, channel entitlement and permission to watch away from home are separate questions. A working app alone does not establish access to every sports network.

CBS Sports Network is a separate channel from your local CBS station. Finding a local CBS affiliate does not establish access to this game on channel 221. New Mexico lists Paramount+ as a streaming route; confirm the actual game listing and eligible plan before paying for or relying on that option.

No package price, promotional term or free trial is quoted here. Read the current offer for your selected service, including recurring charges, equipment requirements and cancellation terms. Avoid creating a second subscription before checking what your existing account already supplies.

Set a recording and verify the time zone

Select the actual game in the guide if you plan to record it. Check that it appears in your scheduled recordings and review any option to extend the recording. A live game can run beyond its listed slot; recording features and storage depend on your plan and equipment.

Use the Eastern or Pacific time shown above as appropriate and compare it with your local guide. When traveling, verify both the time zone and the viewing rules for the device and location. Keep the teams' current schedule available for any late change.

Plan the rest of your football viewing

See our Week 10 college football guide for related programs. Each game has its own network assignment, so a channel that carries this matchup may not carry another one you want to watch.

To compare live-TV options, check DIRECTV at your address or call American TV at 1-855-690-9884. Confirm the full address, current lineup, equipment and account eligibility.
