This is the Cheapest Way to Watch Every 2022 College Bowl Game

With the start of the 2022 College Football bowl season underway, if you’re looking for the cheapest way to stream every 2022 Bowl game, including the College Football Playoff, a subscription to Sling TV is your best bet.

For just $40 a month for Sling Orange, you can watch nearly every Bowl game because it includes games on ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC (which are simulcast on ESPN3). This is $25 cheaper than any other Live TV Streaming Service.

How to Get Sling TV

If you add, Sling Blue (+$15), you will also get access the Holiday Bowl, airing on FOX, which is available on Sling in major markets.

But, the what might be the best value of Sling TV is that with their Sports Extra Pack ($11), you can add ACC Network, ESPNU, Longhorn Network, Pac-12 Network, and SEC Network. If you subscribe to Sling Blue, you will also get Big Ten Network. You will be able to catch the latest previews and post-game analysis of your favorite team before and after every Bowl game.

Sling TV costs $40 a month for Sling Orange or Blue, or just $55 if you subscribe to both (33% savings). If you can’t catch the game live, subscribers with also get a 50 Hour DVR at no extra charge.

One of the ways Sling TV remains so inexpensive is they don’t carry expensive local affiliates in every market. That’s because there are free (or cheap) options to get them, either with an antenna or by pairing it with Paramount+, which often has a 30-Day Free Trial or Peacock ($4.99+). The only Bowl Game unavailable on Sling TV is the Sun Bowl, which you can watch with a 30-Day Free Trial of Paramount+ Premium Plan.
