You’ve got a number of free trials you can choose from of various lengths and breadths.
The No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes are back in action today, Saturday, Sept. 7 as they will take on the Western Michigan Broncos in primetime. The Bucks and Broncos will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET in a game airing on the Big Ten Network. In Week 1, OSU beat MAC school Akron 52-6, while WMU — also a MAC school — put up a good fight against the Wisconsin Badgers before falling 28-14. So this should make for a fun Week 2 matchup.
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, Sept. 7 at 7:30 p.m. ET
TV: Fox
Broadcasters: Jeff Levering, Jake Butt
Betting Line: Ohio State -37.5 | 54.5 o/u
Best Streaming Option for All College Football Games:
This week is the perfect time to sign up for Hulu + Live TV. Not only can you take advantage of the three-day free trial, but on Friday, Hulu + Live TV announced its latest deal. For any new customer who signs up for the service — and the complementary ad-supported Disney Bundle that comes with it — after one month, they will get a $30 rebate. Now this isn’t one of those things where they just give you a $30 credit on your bill effectively locking you into another month, no, they will automatically send you $30 via whatever your method of payment was.
Then, you can cancel the service, upgrade to the ad-free Disney bundle, or keep going with your subscription and pocket the extra $30; it’s a win-win. But, this deal is only available through Wednesday, Sept. 11, so hurry up and take advantage of it now.
Hulu + Live TV 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 in mid-October. But between now and then, this is the best choice for watching college football
Fubo: $84.99 per month, at least a one-day free trial
DIRECTV STREAM: $79.99 per month
YouTube TV: $72.99 per month
