You’ve got a number of free trials you can choose from of various lengths and breadths.

The College Football Playoff has finally arrived. Following the horrific showing in the regular season finale, the No. 6 Ohio State Buckeyes will be back on the field vs. the No. 7 Tennessee Volunteers in the Horseshoe tonight at 8 p.m. ET in a game airing on ESPN. It will be a cold night in Columbus with temperatures feeling like they are in the single digits. Despite what Buckeye turncoat Kirk Herbstreit says, I have a feeling that the Scarlet and Gray fans in attendance will have more than enough energy built up by the time the ball is kicked off to have a positive impact on the game.

With the College Football Playoff underway, the remainder of Ohio State’s season will be played on ESPN. With so many different streamer services carry the most popular cable network on the market, it can be tough to keep up with what the best ways are to stream the action.

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.

If you are looking for the best way to stream the entirety of the CFP, I would recommend Sling TV, but if you are just hoping to stream tonight’s game, I’d go with Hulu + Live TV.


How can I watch the No. 6 Ohio State vs. No. 7 Tennessee College Football Playoff game?


Game Date/Time: Saturday, Dec. 21 at 8 p.m. ET
TV: ESPN
Broadcasters: Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, Holly Rowe
Betting Line: Ohio State -7.5 | 46 o/u


Best Streaming Option for Ohio State vs. Tennessee:
Hulu + Live TV | 3-Day Free Trial


If you’re either looking for a streaming service just for this weekend of football, then Hulu + Live TV very well might be the perfect option. Everyone who signs up gets a three-day free trial, so you can watch the entire college football Saturday, NFL Sunday, and “Monday Night Football” without having to pay a single penny.

But, if you are looking for something for the whole season, then Hulu is great because it comes with ESPN+ (more on that below), so in addition to all of the channels available on the live streaming service, you also get all of the streaming-exclusive games via the worldwide leader’s platform.

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 $82.99 per month after your three-day free trial. It is a little more expensive than some of the other options, but if you are just looking to watch this game, Hulu + Live TV is your best option.


Best Streaming Option for All of College Football Playoff: Sling TV | $23 for one month


Over the next month and a half, there will be tons of college football and NFL postseason games coming to you and sports fans will not want to miss a single second of the action. If you fall into that category, then Sling is the way to go for you. It is the cheapest way to get national broadcast channels and the biggest cable networks as well, which will be especially important as the College Football Playoff will air a significant portion of its games on cable.

Normally, Sling costs $46 per month, but you can currently get 50% off your first month of service, meaning that you can watch a month of the college postseason and the stretch run of the NFL for as little as $23. Sling has two different base packages, Orange and Blue. You can subscribe to one or both. If you do opt to combine Orange and Blue it will run you $61 monthly — still substantially cheaper than the comparable [live TV streaming] services — but with the first-month deal, you can stream everything on both packages for just $30.50.

The College Football will air all of its games on either ESPN or TNT, so every single snap of the entire 11-game bracket will be available on Sling. That means that there is no cheaper option in streaming to watch all of the CFP action over the next month.


Other Streaming Options for the Ohio State and Tennessee Game:


DIRECTV STREAM: $87.99 per month five-day free trial
Fubo: $79.99 per month, at least a one-day free trial | $30 off first month
YouTube TV: $82.99 per month
