Watch incredible football games, ‘Night Agent,’ more this week
It’s a great TV week for football fans, but there’s plenty of other great new content to watch every day!
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Starting off the week with a national holiday is never a bad thing, particularly if you have Monday off. But of course, the flip side of that coin is the fact that if you got Monday off, you have to fight the existential dread that sets in when Tuesday approaches.
At least TV is here to help! You can see a list of new TV shows and movies to stream each day of the upcoming week to help you shake off the short-week doldrums and get you through to the weekend safely once again. Read up to see what’s new on streaming this week below!

College Football Playoff National Championship, Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish | ESPN, watch with a five-day free trial of DIRECTV STREAM
The expanded College Football Playoff delivered some thrillers, as well as a few stinkers. But at the end of the process, there are only two teams left to vie for a national title: Ohio State and Notre Dame, and the game could be a very close contest indeed.
DIRECTV
DIRECTV is one of The Streamable’s top choices for the best live TV streaming service overall in 2026, especially for users who want the most channels or want to watch the most live sports. With an unbeatable lineup of local, news, sports, and entertainment channels, three main signature packages, an unlimited DVR, and 20 simultaneous streams at home, DIRECTV remains a premier choice for any cord-cutter.
Ohio State enters the game with a 13-2 record and 19-year-old phenom receiver Jeremiah Smith will look to make his impact felt early and often against the Notre Dame defense. For the Golden Domers, who come into the game 14-1, it’ll be all about keeping Riley Leonard clean against a nasty Ohio State defensive front.
