How to watch college football on Paramount Plus
Paramount Plus will live stream college football games airing on CBS.
College football fans can live stream many of the biggest games live on Paramount Plus; just one of many ways for college football fans to watch college football online.
After years of being the home of the SEC's biggest games, CBS's big afternoon game is now going to focus on the Big Ten (another example of college football realignment). That means fans of Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Wisconsin, Iowa and new Big Ten entrants Oregon, Washington, USC and UCLA are going to be playing on CBS, and subsequently streaming on Paramount Plus.
Here's what you need to know on how to watch college football on Paramount Plus. (Don't forget you can also watch NFL Games on Paramount Plus too).
How to watch college football on Paramount Plus
Streaming college football games on Paramount Plus is as easy as signing up for the subscription. However, you need to be signed up for Paramount Plus with Showtime, which is the ad-free version of the streaming service and gives you live access to your local CBS channel that'll carry the biggest college football games this season. You can always give it a try first with a seven-day Paramount Plus free trial.
Once you are signed up and logged in to Paramount Plus, to start streaming the games you head over to the Live TV section. Once you find the game for that week, click stream and enjoy the college football action.
While Paramount Plus is available to the UK and other countries outside of the US, anyone outside of the states cannot watch college football via Paramount Plus, as you need access to local CBS stations.
