Liberty Bowl free live stream (12/29): How to watch Memphis-Iowa State online, TV time

The Memphis Tigers have a rare luxury chasing program history with all the comforts of home Friday, Dec. 29, against Iowa State in the Liberty Bowl. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial and $20 off the first two months).

The Cyclones (7-5) will work from Memphis’ usual sideline, pushing the Tigers to the visitors’ side. Memphis will get to use its own locker room.

At stake for Memphis (9-3) is posting just the fifth season in program history with at least 10 victories and fourth since 2014. The Tigers also can get some payback for 2017 when they lost this bowl to Iowa State by a single point despite being ranked.

That 2017 Liberty Bowl is the only game Iowa State has won in the state of Tennessee in six tries.

This marks Iowa State ‘s sixth bowl with coach Matt Campbell and possibly the most impressive after five projected starters were sidelined by an investigation into illegal gambling. Quarterback Hunter Dekkers was among three Cyclones who pleaded guilty to underage gambling.

When is Memphis-Iowa State?

Memphis and Iowa State play at 2:30 p.m. (3:30 p.m. ET) on Friday, Dec. 29.
