Find the cheapest way to watch every CFB game.

Rick's Picks shows you exactly what's missing and the smartest way to fill the gaps. CFB is more fragmented than the NFL — we untangle it.

1Confirm your watch location

Where will you be watching?

Your ZIP matters less for CFB than for NFL (no Sunday Ticket-style blackouts), but it still affects which Live TV bundles are available to you.

2What's important to you?

Pick the games you actually want to watch.

Check what matters — uncheck what doesn't. Rick's Picks below builds a cheaper stack the fewer boxes you tick.

0 game types selected. $0 /mo to cover them all from scratch

3What TV services do you already have?

Tell us what's already on your bill.

If you're already paying for something that covers CFB, we won't tell you to buy it again.

Cable or Live TV streaming service

Pick one — the main bill that gives you your local channels.

Streaming apps you pay for

Tap EVERY paid app on your bill — football-related or not. The more we see of your full picture, the better we can help you cut waste, avoid double-paying for the same channels, and recommend the right setup for your whole household.

4Who does your household root for?

Pick your team(s).

Your team's conference decides which channels matter most. Search any FBS school below, or browse by conference.

All FBS conferences included: SEC, Big Ten, ACC, Big 12, Notre Dame, plus full G5 (American, Mountain West, MAC, Sun Belt, CUSA).

Conference TV deals — the money behind your team's games

Why this matters: the conference your school plays in dictates whether you can watch them for free on antenna or need a paid sub. Here's what every Power 4 conference is locked into:

SEC — ESPN exclusive · $1B/yr · 2024-2034 · Only ABC simulcasts free OTA, rest paid
Big Ten — FOX + CBS + NBC · $1B/yr ($7B / 7yr) · 2023-2030 · Best free OTA conference — all 3 broadcast networks carry games
ACC — ESPN exclusive · $300M/yr ($6B / 20yr) · 2016-2036 · ACC Network paid cable; only ABC simulcasts free
Big 12 — ESPN + FOX · $383M/yr ($2.3B / 6yr) · 2025-2030 · Some FOX Big Noon games free OTA, rest paid
Pac-12 — defunct · 10 of 12 schools left in 2024 realignment · Rebuilt conference (Boise State, Colo State, Fresno, SDSU, Utah State) launches 2026 with no new TV deal yet
Notre Dame — independent · home games on NBC · away games on host school's network
CFP National Championship — ESPN + ABC simulcast · $1.3B/yr ($7.8B / 6yr) · 2026-2032 · Championship Game is free OTA on ABC starting 2026-27
