So the network is a must-have for all college football fans, the good news is that it is available through a multitude of ways.

Let's dive into everything you need to know about how to watch college football on ABC this year.

How to watch college football on ABC

ABC is one of the four main US broadcast networks, which thankfully makes it pretty easy to access. It is available through all traditional pay-TV providers or can be received through TV antennas. If you've cut the cord from these more old-school services though, ABC is also available through live TV streaming services like Fubo, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV, as well as Sling TV in select areas.

Something new this year, it appears that most of the games that are airing on ABC are also going to be available to stream simultaneously on ESPN Plus, in addition to the streamer's slate of exclusive games that it has each week. In order to get access to ESPN Plus, you must subscribe to the service, which you can get as either a standalone streaming service or bundle it with Disney Plus and Hulu via the Disney Plus bundle.
