Best streaming option for watching college football only ? . .

For someone focused solely on watching college football, there are a few streaming options that might suit your needs:

ESPN+: This is a great option for certain games, especially if you follow smaller conferences or FCS games. However, ESPN+ alone won’t give you access to the main ESPN channels (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU), where most of the high-profile games are broadcast.

Sling TV: Sling TV can be a more budget-friendly option if you choose the right package. The Sling Orange package includes ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN3, while the Sling Blue package gives you access to FS1, FS2, and local Fox and NBC stations in some markets. You can combine the two for more comprehensive coverage.

Paramount+: If you’re interested in games on CBS, Paramount+ offers live streaming of local CBS stations, which carry SEC games and some other conferences.

Peacock: NBC’s Peacock streaming service will give you access to NBC games, which include some Notre Dame and Big Ten matchups.

Hulu + Live TV: Similar to YouTube TV and Fubo, Hulu + Live TV includes a broad selection of sports channels, including ESPN, Fox, CBS, and ABC. It’s a good all-in-one solution if you’re okay with paying a bit more.

DIRECTV Stream: Offers a wide range of sports channels, including regional sports networks. It’s on the pricier side, though.

Fox Sports App: If Fox broadcasts a lot of the games you’re interested in, you could get the Fox Sports App with a TV provider login, but you’d still need access to a live TV streaming service for that login.

Suggested Combo
A leaner and potentially cheaper approach might be combining Sling TV (Orange + Blue) with ESPN+. This would cover most of the ESPN channels, Fox Sports channels, and your local CBS/NBC/ABC for under $70 a month.

If you want to trim further, you could get Sling Orange + ESPN+ and use an over-the-air antenna for CBS, NBC, and ABC games.

Streameast is hit or miss

Venu is a new sports-only streaming service launching by the end of August 2024. It’s a joint venture between Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery, created specifically for sports fans. The service is designed to give subscribers access to top live sports events without having to pay for the broader range of content offered by more expensive streaming platforms like YouTubeTV or FuboTV.

Venu will cost $42.99 per month, which might seem a bit steep, but it includes a lineup of 14 sports-related channels, covering a wide range of sports content. This service might be a good fit for someone like you, who only wants access to sports, especially college football, without the extra channels you’d never use. However, there’s currently some legal drama as FuboTV is attempting to block Venu’s launch, arguing that it’s anticompetitive. Depending on how that lawsuit goes, the launch could be delayed.

If Venu does launch as planned, it could be a solid option for your needs, offering a streamlined and sports-focused alternative to broader services(

They closed Down all of them? Swear I was on their just two days ago on one of their variants watching Dana whites Contender series

Hulu live covers all of the bases. Unfortunately there is no solution that doesn’t equate to sending money to Disney. So if you want to watch CFB you just have to hold your nose and pay the mouse one way or another.

YTTV and ESPN+ and don't over-think it.

Damn for 10$ more a month I can renew my dish network subscription and use dish anywhere to stream games in my barn and when we’re at the in-laws cabin which we tend to frequent on fall weekends.

YTTV gives you three devices you can have on one account, I believe. Or did when I was a subscriber.

Make sure one of them is your favorite laptop. Bring to cabin, connect HDMI to any TV made in the last ten years. Stream on laptop, display on TV. But be careful not to shipost during the broadcast or your family will see it on the TV.
