You’ve got a number of free trials you can choose from of various lengths and breadths.
It’s the biggest game of the season as the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes head west to Eugene, Oregon to face the No. 3 Oregon Ducks in prime time on NBC. The game will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET from Autzen Stadium and no self-respecting college football fan will want to miss this matchup. But if you don’t have cable or satellite, how can you watch the game?
This season, the Buckeyes will play on three different broadcast networks (CBS, Fox, and NBC), at least one cable channel (Big Ten Network), and exclusively on a streaming service (Peacock); it can be tough to keep up with where and how to watch your favorite team.
As cord-cutting has become far more the norm than the exception across the United States, it would not be a surprise if you gave up cable or a live-streaming service following last year’s season only to realize that it’s the day of the game and you have no way to watch it.
And I know it can be incredibly confusing to find the best way to watch a game in today’s entertainment landscape. Fortunately for you, I am something of a streaming expert... no really, I write about streaming services for a living. So, I am going to walk you through the best — and cheapest — ways for you to stream today’s game.
Game Date/Time: Saturday, Oct. 12 at 7:30 p.m. ET
TV: NBC
Broadcasters: Noah Eagle, Todd Blackledge, Kathryn Tappen
Betting Line: Ohio State -3.5 | 54.5 o/u
Best Streaming Option for Ohio State vs. Oregon and All College Football Games:
If you want to watch the Ohio State and Oregon game and don’t want to pay for it, then Hulu + Live TV is your best option in my expert opinion. The live TV streaming service has one of the few guaranteed multi-day free trials in the industry and provides nearly all of the major cable channels on the market.
The basic package comes with all of the major broadcast network channels — all of which have college football — ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC. It also has ESPN, ESPN2, Big Ten Network, FS1, FS2, ESPNU, CBS Sports Network, SEC Network, ACC Network, and the NFL Network (yes, they have college games) without having to sign up for any sports add-on plans. However, if you do want more sports, you can add NFL RedZone, MLB StrikeZone, FanDuel TV, the Tennis Channel, and more.
What’s great about Hulu + Live TV is that in addition to all of the broadcast and cable channels that you could possibly want, it also comes with the Disney Bundle for free. So, you also get the full on-demand Hulu library, Disney+, and ESPN+, which also has hundreds of college football games every season.
Currently, a subscription to Hulu + Live TV costs $76.99 per month after your three-day free trial. However, that will go up to $82.99 on Oct. 17. But between now and then, this is the best choice for watching college football.
Cheapest Streaming Option for One Month:
While this game is not a Peacock exclusive like the Michigan State game was, you can use the streamer to watch every college football game that airs on NBC on Peacock, including today’s prime-time matchup between the Buckeyes and Ducks.
Fortunately, NBCU has made the service one of the cheapest subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) platforms on the market. You can sign up for the ad-supported Peacock Premium for just $7.99 per month or the ad-free Premium Plus for $13.99. At one point, Comcast offered a version of Peacock for free and a subsidy to Xfinity cable and internet subscribers, but that is no longer the case. Also, there is no free trial to the service, so if you want to watch the Buckeyes and Herky on Peacock, you will need to cough up at least $8.
However, with all of the Big Ten action — and sports in general — on the streamer, it might be worth it keep the subscription moving forward, especially if you are a fan of “That’s what she said” jokes, real housewives, and four-chair turns.
Fubo: $84.99 per month, at least a one-day free trial
DIRECTV STREAM: $79.99 per month, five-day free trial
Sling TV: $40 per month, 50% off first month
YouTube TV: $72.99 per month
Below is your Ohio State vs. Oregon 2024 game thread. Be respectful, be kind and — as always — keep it classy, BuckeyeNation. If you like GIFs, lay ‘em on us. In all, be good fans, cheer for your teams, be cool to each other (even if somebody else isn’t) and everyone wins. Let’s finish the season strong!
