The Unofficial NCAA Football Streaming Guide

Growing up near the Ohio/Michigan border, I quickly learned how the Ohio State Buckeyes command attention. I’ll use my streaming expertise in this article to eplain the ways you can catch all the Buckeye pigskin action.

In a hurry? You only need a few channels to see every Buckeyes game. And these services provide them:

How to Stream Ohio State Buckeyes Games

The Ohio State Buckeyes primarily appear on network channels and the Big Ten Network (BTN). If they make it to a bowl game, there is a good chance that the game will be broadcast on ESPN, since almost all of them are.

Throughout its history, the Ohio State Buckeyes football program has appeared in 55 bowl games, so there is a good chance that you will be watching them on ESPN at least once per season.

To see every OSU Buckeyes game, you will need ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, and BTN. A number of streaming services provide all of these. Here we take a look at some of the top choices:

Service	Price	Channels	Reviews
	$45.99/month	40+	Sling
	$79.99/month	150+	Fubo
	$114.99/month	125+	DIRECTV
	$82.99/month	95+	Hulu + Live TV
	$82.99/month	100+	YouTube TV

Comparison of Streaming Plans for Buckeye Fans

• Fubo’s Pro plan: ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, and Big Ten Network are all available through the Fubo Pro package, which costs $79.99/month. You will also be able to get other national channels like ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, FS2, CBS Sports Network (CBSSN), as well as international channels such as beIN Sports and TUDN.
• Sling TV’s Blue plan: I recommend the Sling Blue plan, which comes with ABC, Fox, and NBC (select markets) for $50.99/month. If you add Sports Extra ($11/mo) you also get BTN.
• DIRECTV’s Choice plan: Starts at $86.99/month and allows you to watch local stations, ESPN, and ESPN2. If you want BTN, you need to upgrade to the Choice package for $114.99/month.
• Hulu + Live TV: Starts at $82.99/month and comes with local networks, ESPN, FS1, and BTN. This means that you will be able to watch every Ohio State football game live. In all, you get 95+ channels as well as Hulu’s outstanding on-demand library. Finally, you get ESPN+ and Disney+.

Other Options

There are other ways to watch Ohio State Buckeyes games and NCAA games in general.

• Antenna: You can watch regular season games on ABC, CBS, Fox, or NBC by installing a digital antenna.These can be easily set up inside your house with little money.
• Streaming Apps: ABC, Fox, and BTN all have their own streaming apps that you can use to watch live with a streaming account via TV Everywhere.

Our Choice

Want to watch every Ohio State game without hassle? Fubo is the best bet. It’s got all the must-have channels – ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, and Big Ten Network – so you’re covered no matter where the game airs. The stream is smooth, no annoying lag, and the DVR is perfect for catching up later. Works on everything from smart TVs to phones, and the interface is simple to use. I checked out other services, but nothing matched Fubo’s mix of reliability and full coverage. If you’re on a budget, Sling TV’s Blue plan is a cheaper option, but it’s missing some key channels. For the full Buckeyes experience, Fubo is the way to go.

This Week’s Buckeyes Football Game

More About Ohio State Buckeyes Football

The Buckeyes represent Ohio State University in the Big Ten Conference. They play their home games at the 102,780-person capacity Ohio Stadium on the OSU campus in Columbus, Ohio. They are one of the most consistent football teams in all of the NCAA but the Ohio State athletics program is very strong in all areas.

The Ohio State Buckeyes started last season 11-0 and were looking forward to a Big 10 title and a spot in the College Football Playoff (CFP). Unfortunately, a 30-24 loss to Michigan derailed those hopes, and the team would finish 11-2 after losing to Missouri in the Cotton Bowl.

Head coach Ryan Day will have to overcome several key losses in an effort to rebuild his team. Quarterback Kyle McCord transferred to Syracuse while wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals. Look for the offense to use a higher tempo this year as Chip Kelly takes over as offensive coordinator. Jim Knowles will serve as defensive coordinator this season.

Conference realignment means that Ohio State will travel to Oregon to play a Big 10 game against the Ducks. This is the first of two games against schools ranked in the top 10 entering the 2024 season. The Oregon Ducks are currently third in the rankings while Penn State is eighth. Ohio State travels to play Penn State on November 2nd.

The Buckeyes also have a key game against Michigan to close out the regular season. The Wolverines are Ohio State’s fiercest rivals, and the rivalry itself is considered to be among the most famous in all of sports. Illinois is another close rival as the two schools have played each other in football since 1902.

Ohio State has claimed eight national championships with its most recent coming in 2014. In addition, the school was named an unofficial national champion by various sources six times in program history. The most recent unclaimed national title was awarded in 2006. Ohio State has also won 39 Big 10 titles and 13 division titles.

The school has produced a number of star NFL players including Chris Spielman, Eddie George and Orlando Pace. CJ Stroud, Joey Bosa and Chase Young are among key players from Ohio State currently in the NFL.
