How To Watch Every College Bowl Game in 2023/2024

Updated on 2023-12-14 By Dennis Restauro

NCAA football

NCAA Bowl games begin this weekend. We also have two FCS Semifinal games and the DII and DII national championships. This year, we have 8 games airing on ABC, 31 games airing on ESPN, 1 game airing on ESPN2, 1 on ESPNU, 1 game on CBS, 1 game on Fox, and 1 game on Barstool Sports. I’ll go over where and how to stream these bowl games and the entire NCAA Bowl schedule.

In a Hurry

The following streaming services will provide every channel you need to watch every NCAA football championship and bowl game this year except for the Arizona Bowl, which is free to watch on Barstool.TV.

  • DIRECTV STREAM – Offers a 5-day free trial. All channels are in the “Entertainment” plan for $79.99 per month except for ESPNU, which is in the “Choice” plan for $108.99 per month
  • YouTube TV – offers a 1-week free trial and costs $72.99 per month
  • fubo – offers a 1-week free trial and costs $74.99 per month
  • Hulu Live TV – includes all channels and ESPN+ for $76.99 per month. (sign up)

You can strategically pick up and drop the free trials to watch most bowl games for free. Sling TV is also an affordable option but is missing some broadcast channels. Read on for more details.

How To Stream Every Bowl Game

Bowl Season starts with the Myrtle Beach Bowl on Saturday, December, 16th, and runs until the national championship on Monday, January, 8th, 2024, with 44 bowl games airing on ABC, CBS, FOX, ESPN, ESPN2, and Barstool Sports.

The easiest one to watch is the Arizona Bowl airing on Barstool Sports on December, 30th at 4:30 PM. You can watch it live at Barstool.TV on your browser or mobile device or download the Barstool Sports App to your Roku, Fire TV, or Apple TV streaming device.

As for the other games, here are all the streaming services that carry ESPN, ESPNU, ABC, CBS, and Fox

Sling TV – I wanted to mention Sling first because it will be the most affordable way to watch ESPN, ESPNU, and ESPN2. ESPN and ESPN2 channels are available in Sling’s Orange Plan and cost $40 per month, but provide 50% off your first month. You can add ESPNU in their Sports Add-on pack for an additional $11 per month. Unfortunately, the service doesn’t carry CBS, with ABC and FOX only available in a handful of major markers. However, if you have a TV antenna that gets ABC, Fox, and CBS, you are all set with Sling. You can sign up at Sling’s Website. See my review of Sling for more information.

DIRECTV STREAM – Carries ESPN, ESPN2, ABC, FOX, and CBS everywhere in the country for offers a risk-free 5-Day Free Trial. costs $79.99 each month after. However, you can cancel at any time and cancel within the free trial and you will not be charged. per month in its “Entertainment” plan. However, ESPNU is available in it’s “Choice” plan for normally costs $108.99 per month after a risk-free 5-Day Free Trial. However, there is a promotion running where you get first 2 months for $25 off per month. See my review of DIRECTV STREAM for more information.

Hulu Live TV: Carries ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ABC, FOX, and CBS everywhere in the country and includes Disney+ and ESPN+ with unlimited DVR storage for $76.99/month. (Sign up) See my review of Hulu + Live TV for more information.

YouTube TV –  Carries ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ABC, FOX, and CBS everywhere in the country and costs $72.99 per month and offers a free trial. They are currently providing a special price of $52.99/mo for your first 3 months. See my review of YouTube TV for more information.

This Season’s College Bowl TV Schedule

As you can see, the bowl season lasts about 3 weeks, so you could juggle the free trials from DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo TV, and YouTube TV to watch every Bowl game free. Just remember to cancel before the trial expires so you aren’t charged for your first month. I also have guides linked in the list below if you want to watch a specific channel.
