How To Watch College Football On Sling TV: Which Channels, Plans You’ll Need All Season

College football is back! And if you’re looking for a place to stream NCAA college football all season long, Sling TV is a great choice as it’s consistently one of our favorite options for streaming live sports. This guide will break down how to watch college football on Sling TV from nationally broadcast games to regional matchups airing in your market.

How to Watch Your Favorite College Football Teams on Sling TV:

Watch College Football on Sling TV with Sling Season Pass

What makes Sling TV especially attractive right now for streaming college football is that for a limited time, Sling TV is offering Sling Season Pass, which combines both the Sling Orange and Sling Blue base packages with the Sports Extra add-on to unlock access to over 60 channels including many of the top networks where you can watch live college football and NFL games. The deal gets users four months of service for just $199 upfront – saving you $92.

For college football lovers, that means you can stream Fox, NBC, and ABC in select markets, along with ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNEWS, ESPNU, the Big Ten Network, SEC Network, SEC Network+, ACC Network Extra in addition to FS1, Fox Sports 2, TNT, TBS, and truTV, with the NFL Network and NFL Redzone to boot. Not bad!

Sling TV offers ABC as part of its Blue plan in eight major markets across the country. However, Sling offers ESPN3 in every market, so even if you live in an area where ABC is not available, you will be able to stream every sporting event that airs on the channel.

Sling TV offers Fox in 18 major markets across the country. So, if you live near one of the cities listed below, you will be able to tune in:

And to get NBC with Sling TV, you need to live in one of these 11 major markets across the country:

How To Watch ACC College Football Games with Sling TV

California Golden Bears and Stanford Cardinal are making their ACC debut this season, joining powerhouses like Clemson Tigers, Florida State Seminoles, Miami Hurricanes, and North Carolina Tar Heels in what’s bound to be a fantastic conference. The best way to watch ACC college football is with a subscription to Sling Orange with Sports Extra. That way, you’ll get every regular season ACC college football game, including those on ABC that Sling TV simulcasts on ESPN3.

How To Watch Big 12 College Football Games with Sling TV

With the additions of Colorado Buffaloes, Arizona Wildcats, and Utah Utes into the Big 12 this year, this is one conference you don’t want to miss. And the best package for streaming Big 12 college football games is with the Sling Season Pass. That will get you Big 12 Conference games appearing on ESPN, FS1, and Fox (see select markets above), as well as all the other specialty college football channels Sling TV carries.

How To Watch Big Ten College Football Games with Sling TV

Of all the conferences in college football, Sling TV’s coverage of the Big Ten isn’t quite as strong as its other offerings. Part of that is because many of the games are broadcast on Fox / FS1 and NBC which are only available in select markets, as well as CBS, which Sling TV doesn’t offer at all. Still, the best package for Big Ten games is the Sling Blue with Sports Extra. That will get you Fox and NBC (if available in your region), along with Big Ten Network which will carry regular season games. To catch games appearing on CBS, we recommend picking up a subscription to Paramount+, which simulcasts football games appearing on that channel.

How To Watch Pac-12 and Mountain West College Football Games With Sling TV

With the dismantling of the Pac-12 came a few casualties, including the Oregon State Beavers and the Washington State Cougars. They’ll play six games against Mountain West teams this season, which you can watch with Sling Blue. Sling Blue will get you truTV (carrying 14 games this season) and Fox / FS1 (in select markets), giving Mountain West fans a value option to watch their favorite conference.

How To Watch SEC College Football Games with Sling TV

The Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns are the new teams on the block this season in the SEC. The best way to watch them, along with all the other teams in the SEC is with a subscription to Sling Orange with Sports Extra. You’ll get all the games on the SEC Network and SEC Network+, along with those appearing on ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN3. The best part? Because CBS dropped their SEC Game of the Week, Sling TV now carries every game in the conference.

What Other Teams and Conferences Can You Watch With Sling TV?

For the 2024-25 NCAA football season, we’re saying goodbye to the Pac-12, which means Sling TV will no longer carry the Pac-12 Network. The Longhorn Network has also disappeared from Sling TV’s offering, as the team is now being covered by the SEC Network.

To catch Notre Dame Fighting Irish games, Sling Blue subscription makes the most sense, as NBC holds the broadcast rights and is available in select markets for Sling TV subscribers.

All that said, the best choice for watching as much college football as you can on Sling TV is definitely with their Sling Season Pass offering. So check it out!
