Where to watch NCAA College Football

NCAA College Football is a uniquely American experience. As a result, there are very few streams for games that exist on services outside of the US. However, you will find that some of the broadcast options are free, with your only blockade being geographic content restrictions that can be bypassed through a VPN.

In the US, your best option to watch as many games as possible will be through ESPN, ABC, CBS, CBS Sports Network, Fox Sports, NBC Sports Network, Pac-12 Network, and SEC Network. No one streaming service carries all of those channels (not even traditional cable), but we’ll detail out where you can get them.

In Canada, you can catch a large number of games through Sportsnet Now,  DAZN, TSN, and a few others.

You may also have options to watch NCAA College Football abroad in countries like the UK, Australia, Germany, and more, by using a virtual private network, or VPN. We’ll explain in detail how you can watch NCAA College Football live online in the US, Canada, and abroad with a VPN.

In general, only the US and Canada have major online services where a significant number of broadcasts can be viewed.

As stated, the broadcast rights in the US for NCAA College Football are extremely complex. While the NCAA does not implement many blackouts, many games simply aren’t available outside of their respective regions.

A few major broadcasters will be carrying most games, and you can watch most games throughout the year if you take the time to explore streaming options. Additionally, only a select few broadcasters have rights to the NCAA College Football Championship and Bowl games. Once the playoffs and championships begin, your viewing options will get much easier to handle. Until then, here’s a long list of where to go watch different regional games.
