Which Broadcast Channels Carry College Football Games in 2024?
All of the big five broadcast channels carry some college football this season. Big changes include the Pac-12 — or the Pac-2, considering the conference is now comprised of only the Washington State Cougars and Oregon State Beavers — shifting most home games to The CW, with one for each school being scheduled for Fox.
Big Ten games will be available on CBS this season, but the channel will no longer carry the SEC, as that conference is shifting to Disney-owned channels like ABC and ESPN.
