College football bowl game guide: Schedules, channels and how to live stream the games
New Year's Day always looms large on the college football calendar, and the start of 2020 is no exception. Four bowl games mark the start of the New Year, and college football fans won't want to miss a moment.
While the big game is still to come — that'd be the national championship between LSU and Clemson on Jan. 13 — there are plenty of bowl games to enjoy as you recuperate from your New Year's Eve celebrations. Alabama faces Michigan in a tasty Citrus Bowl match-up, while the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl cap off the day.
Whether you're interested in LSU vs. Clemson, the other major bowl games, the one featuring your favorite school, or every bowl game on the schedule, you've got plenty of options for live streaming each and every bowl game. Here's a guide to when and where you can find each college football bowl game and how you can live stream those games on any device.
A better question might be when can't you watch this season's bowl games. With 40 games scheduled between Dec. 20 and the national title game on Jan. 13, there's a good chance a college football game is taking place right now.
New Year's Day promises four college football bowl games, starting with the Citrus Bowl (Alabama vs. Michigan) and Outback Bowl (Minnesota vs. Auburn) at 1 p.m. ET. Those games air on ABC and ESPN, respectively. The Rose Bowl between Oregon and Wisconsin kicks off at 5 p.m. ET, while Georgia and Baylor cap off the day in the Sugar Bowl at 8:45 p.m. ET.
Those final two games air on ESPN, as do all the remaining college football bowl games between now and the national championship on Jan. 13. You'll find a full schedule of college football bowl games at the end of this guide.
If you're out of the country when the college football bowl game you want to watch, you're not out of luck. A virtual private network, or VPN, can help you connect to the internet like you're surfing the web at home. That allows you to access the same streaming services you'd normally receive.
After testing many services to find the best overall VPN, our top pick is ExpressVPN. It offers a great mix of good performance and friendly customer support should you run into any troubles with this easy-to-use VPN software. You can also enjoy an attractive price if you opt for a longer service contract.
Your immediate streaming options will depend on who's broadcasting the bowl game you're hoping to live stream. Since most of the remaining bowl games appear on ESPN or ABC, you'll want to familiarize yourself with either the ESPN website or the sport channel's mobile app (Android, iOS). Any college football bowl game airing on ESPN or ABC will also stream through those options. Likewise, CBS streams any bowl games airing on CBS or SPS Sports Network on its website and app (Android, iOS).
There's one problem with turning to these services, though. You can only log in with the sign-in information from your satellite or cable TV provider. No cable subscription? Then you've got to find another way to live stream these college football bowl games.
Your best bet will be to turn to a subscription streaming service, with the challenge being to find a service that includes most of the channels carrying college football bowl games. That makes Fubo.TV a less attractive option — while the $55-a-month service specializes in streaming sports, it doesn't include ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC among its channels. You'll also want to confirm that the streaming service you pick offers local channels in your area — not all services do in every market.
With that in mind, here are you best options for subscription streaming services to watch this year's college football bowl games.
