Temple's official game center lists the November 19 matchup at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN at Lincoln Financial Field. The American Conference's Rice schedule independently confirms the Philadelphia game, date, Eastern start and ESPN assignment. Rice's published season announcement lists 6:30 under a Central-time schedule heading; that is the same kickoff in the visiting school's time zone.

Find the correct DIRECTV channel

Use the guide's search function for the teams and November 19, then open the listing to check its network and scheduled start. Our ESPN channel guide provides related lineup information. Confirm the current number on the receiver or app you actually plan to watch.

ESPN 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 19 date is a Thursday. 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 CFP rankings-show guide and American Conference championship guide cover other viewing decisions. Their network assignments should not replace the specific ESPN listing for this November 19 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.
