    The Oklahoma Sooners are attempting to snag their fourth consecutive win at the Women's College World Series this year, but the Texas Longhorns are proving to be worthy adversaries. The teams meet again tonight for the second (and possibly last) game of the finals. Below, we'll show you how to watch the Women's College World Series finals from home.

    Oklahoma and Texas kicked off the finals yesterday with a game that ended in an 8-3 victory for Oklahoma. The World Series finals are the best of three games, so if Oklahoma pulls off another win tonight, they'll be champions for the fourth time in a row. But if Texas wins, the two teams will head to a tie-breaking Game 3 on Friday night.

    Although Oklahoma has become the undeniable leader of NCAA Division 1 softball, Texas has put up a good fight this year. Texas was even the top-seeded team headed into the tournament, with Oklahoma trailing close behind at no. 2. Texas easily defeated Stanford in the semi-finals, but Florida beat Oklahoma and forced the two teams into Game 12, which saw Oklahoma narrowly win 6-5.

    Will Oklahoma be crowned champion once again tonight, or will Texas live to fight another day? You'll have to tune in to find out. Keep reading to learn exactly how to do that.

    How to watch the Women's College World Series in the US

    The Oklahoma vs. Texas game will air on Thursday, June 6 at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN. For those without cable, there are a couple of cord-cutting avenues to explore when it comes to live streaming the game. The cheapest option will be a subscription to ESPN+, which costs $10.99 a month.

    If you'd rather try out a live TV package, you can find ESPN on Sling TV and Fubo. For Sling TV, you'll need to opt for Sling Orange to get ESPN, which costs $40 a month. The service is currently offering new users half-off their first month. At $79.99 a month, Fubo is more expensive, but it comes with a one-week free trial and more channels than Sling.

    ESPN Plus (Monthly Plan)

    ESPN Plus is designed for sports, giving subscribers access to live MLB, NHL, NFL, soccer, golf, and UFC fights. You can pay $11 monthly or go for an annual deal, which saves you about $22 a year. There's also a bundle with Hulu and Disney Plus, which offers an even better discount.

    Check price at ESPN Sling TV Subscription

    For just the essentials without any extra fluff, Sling TV is the streaming service you're looking for. It's more customizable than other plans, with three options you can choose from, so you pay for only what you need. New members get their first month for $25 off.

    Check price at Sling Fubo Pro Plan

    Fubo is the streaming service for sports fans. Its huge library of channels includes regional and international sports leagues, setting it apart from the competition. You can also tack on additional programming to your plan, but it'll cost you extra.

    How to watch the Women's College World Series from anywhere

    For those who will be traveling outside the US during Game 2 of the Women's College World Series finals, you can try keeping up with your subscriptions via VPN (virtual private network). VPNs are handy ways to change your device's electronic location so that you can still use your usual websites and apps while traveling. Since the services we've outlined require US forms of payment, this recommendation will be best for Americans who are simply traveling abroad and hoping to use their existing subscriptions.

    If this sounds like it might be a good fit, we suggest trying out ExpressVPN, a beginner-friendly VPN. ExpressVPN comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so if you find you're having trouble streaming, there are no worries. You can find all of the details in our ExpressVPN review. Check out how to use a VPN below:

    ExpressVPN Plan

Better yet, you can save up to 49% and get an extra three months for free today.
