College Football · Updated 2026-05-14
Find the cheapest way to watch every CFB game.
Rick's Picks shows you exactly what's missing and the smartest way to fill the gaps. CFB is more fragmented than the NFL — we untangle it.
Confused about why the Big Ten has 18 teams or where the Pac-12 went? Read our plain-English history of conference realignment — how TV money rewrote the entire college football map between 1990 and 2024.
1Confirm your watch location
Where will you be watching?
Your ZIP matters less for CFB than for NFL (no Sunday Ticket-style blackouts), but it still affects which Live TV bundles are available to you.
2What's important to you?
Pick the games you actually want to watch.
Check what matters — uncheck what doesn't. Rick's Picks below builds a cheaper stack the fewer boxes you tick.

3What TV services do you already have?
Tell us what's already on your bill.
If you're already paying for something that covers CFB, we won't tell you to buy it again.
Cable or Live TV streaming service
Pick one — the main bill that gives you your local channels.
Streaming apps you pay for
Tap EVERY paid app on your bill — football-related or not. The more we see of your full picture, the better we can help you cut waste, avoid double-paying for the same channels, and recommend the right setup for your whole household.
4Who does your household root for?
Pick your team(s).
Your team's conference decides which channels matter most. Search any FBS school below, or browse by conference.
All FBS conferences included: SEC, Big Ten, ACC, Big 12, Notre Dame, plus full G5 (American, Mountain West, MAC, Sun Belt, CUSA).
Conference TV deals — the money behind your team's games
Why this matters: the conference your school plays in dictates whether you can watch them for free on antenna or need a paid sub. Here's what every Power 4 conference is locked into:
Big 12 — ESPN + FOX · $383M/yr ($2.3B / 6yr) · 2025-2030 · Some FOX Big Noon games free OTA, rest paid
Pac-12 — defunct · 10 of 12 schools left in 2024 realignment · Rebuilt conference (Boise State, Colo State, Fresno, SDSU, Utah State) launches 2026 with no new TV deal yet
Notre Dame — independent · home games on NBC · away games on host school's network
CFP National Championship — ESPN + ABC simulcast · $1.3B/yr ($7.8B / 6yr) · 2026-2032 · Championship Game is free OTA on ABC starting 2026-27
