Week 7 of college football brings us one of the oldest rivalries in all of sports. This weekend marks the 120th meeting between Texas and Oklahoma, dubbed the "Red River Rivalry." Texas leads the all-time series with 63 wins to Oklahoma's 51.

The Texas Longhorns head into Norman, Oklahoma ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press college football poll. On the back of quarterback Quinn Ewers, Texas finds itself in the driver's seat for a spot in the College Football Playoffs. Having won eight of the last ten meetings between the two teams, hopes are high for the Longhorns in Week 7.

Meanwhile, the No. 20-ranked Oklahoma Sooners are looking to gain some respect and climb their way up the rankings. Quarterback Jackson Arnold has struggled as of late, and the Sooners will need him to turn it around at home. Can Arnold and company knock down the top-ranked Longhorns in Week 7? Tune in to find out.

Make sure you don't miss Texas vs. Oklahoma, or any of this season's college football with our 2024 college football livestreams guide. Here's how to watch the Texas vs. Oklahoma livestream from anywhere in the world — and potentially for free.

How to watch Texas vs Oklahoma from anywhere

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the game on your usual subscription? You can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN makes it appear like you're surfing the web from your home, allowing you to access the streaming services you already pay for. It's legal and easy to do.

We've tested many different VPN services and our favorite is NordVPN; it offers superb speeds, excellent customer service and a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out first to see if it's right for you. But you've got other VPN options too, so check out our full list of the best VPN services.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view your usual U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Sling and watch the Texas vs. Oklahoma livestream.

With one of our best TV antenna picks you can watch select college football live streams over the air for free. And since Texas vs. Oklahoma is on ABC, you can watch it for free with an antenna.

Or, you could make your own stream, with a service such as Channel Master or Tablo, connected to your antenna and a DVR box. This allows you to broadcast the stream — either live or recorded — to a set-top box, mobile device or computer just about anywhere in the world. The cost of this method varies depending on the HD antenna you get and the service you use, but the local channels themselves are free.

If you're in Canada, Texas vs. Oklahoma will be on TSN and TSN Plus. TSN has a monopoly on college football so this is essentially your only option for watching games this season

Among the best streaming services we've tested, the only one that may offer games is Fubo, which has a pretty deep live sports selection and operates in Canada. Unfortunately, at this time we cannot confirm that Fubo will offer any college football livestreams in Canada like it does in the U.S.

Of course, if you're in Canada, you can always use NordVPN to watch your U.S. streaming services abroad.
