How to Watch the NCAA Football Bowl Games

Products You May Like

A lot of things have changed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the NCAA is trying to keep as normal a football schedule as possible. Some championships and bowl games have been moved due to the virus, but there are still several games to catch in the post-season leading up to the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday, Jan. 11, 2021. 

ESPN will air a lion’s share of the bowl games, with ABC and CBS picking up a few of the later games. That means a cable subscription will be most useful when seeing who take home college rings this year. However, cord cutters can check out services like Sling, Fubo, and Hulu with Live TV for non-bundle options. 

Below, find the dates, times and TV channels for every bowl game. All times, dates, and locations are subject to change, due to Covid-19-related events. All times noted are Eastern Time.
