where can i watch the cfp championship

You can watch the CFP National Championship on ESPN and through several major live TV streaming services that carry ESPN, including YouTube TV, Fubo, Sling TV (Orange), Hulu + Live TV, and DirecTV Stream.

Main TV channel

• The game is airing live on ESPN as the primary broadcast channel.

• Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on Monday, January 19, 2026.

Official streaming options

• ESPN app : If you already get ESPN through cable, satellite, or a live TV streaming bundle, you can sign in to the ESPN app and stream the game at no extra cost.

• YouTube TV : Carries ESPN and is promoting live coverage of the CFP National Championship at 7:30 p.m. ET on January 19, 2026.

• Fubo : Includes ESPN and offers a free trial; you can stream the main broadcast plus various alternate feeds where available.

• Other bundles : Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV (Orange plan with ESPN), and DirecTV Stream also typically include ESPN, so any of those will work if ESPN is in your package.

ESPN MegaCast & alternate feeds

• ESPN is offering multiple MegaCast presentations: the main broadcast on ESPN, a Pat McAfee “Field Pass” show on ESPN2, a Command Center view on ESPNU, a SkyCast on ESPNEWS, and more specialty angles via the ESPN app.

• Spanish-language coverage is available on ESPN Deportes, and radio/audio options (including hometown radio feeds) are available through ESPN Radio and within the ESPN app.

If you don’t have cable

• Sign up for a live TV streaming trial (for example, YouTube TV or Fubo) shortly before kickoff so you can watch ESPN live without a traditional cable subscription.

• Make sure your service and device are set up and you’re logged in to ESPN or your streaming app a few minutes before 7:30 p.m. ET so you don’t miss the opening kickoff.
