what is the national championship game streaming on

The 2026 College Football Playoff national championship game (Indiana vs. Miami) is airing on ESPN and streaming through several live-TV services that carry ESPN.

Main streaming options

• ESPN’s own authenticated streaming (via the ESPN app or website) if you have a cable, satellite, or live‑TV subscription that includes ESPN.

• Live‑TV streaming platforms that carry ESPN, including:
  • Sling TV (Orange plan; often marketed as a budget way to get ESPN).

* Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, and similar U.S. services that include ESPN in their channel lineups.

Outside the U.S.

• In the UK, at least one guide lists DAZN as offering a free stream of the national championship (with a note that a VPN is often suggested to access regional streams from abroad).

Quick takeaway

If you already pay for ESPN through cable or a live‑TV streaming bundle, you can just log into the ESPN app to watch. Otherwise, the easiest path is a short‑term subscription or trial to a service like Sling Orange, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, or another provider that includes ESPN.
