You can watch the 2026 college football championship (Indiana vs. Miami) on ESPN, or via several live TV streaming services that carry ESPN and offer free trials.

Main ways to watch

  • Traditional TV : The game is being televised nationally on ESPN at 7:30 p.m. ET from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
  • ESPN app / NCAA hub : You can stream it through the ESPN app and the NCAA football streaming hub if you have access via a TV provider or eligible streaming service login.
  • Streaming services with ESPN : Live TV services such as DirecTV Stream, Fubo, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV carry ESPN and are promoting free trials or short intro deals around the championship.

Quick streaming tips

  • If you already have cable or satellite , just tune to ESPN on your box or sign into the ESPN app with your provider credentials.
  • If you don’t have cable , sign up for a trial on one of the major services (for example, DirecTV Stream or Fubo) a few hours before kickoff so you have time to test your connection and devices.
  • Check that your chosen plan explicitly lists ESPN in its channel lineup in your region before confirming, since availability can vary by location.

Extra viewing options

  • ESPN is offering “MegaCast” alternate feeds like SkyCast, Command Center, and All-22 views across its family of channels and digital feeds, giving options such as aerial views, multi-angle stats views, and coach-style film angles.
  • Some providers and devices will also show a 4K UHD broadcast of the championship if your TV and plan support it, including large cable and satellite operators and select streaming platforms.

TL;DR: Search your TV or streaming service for ESPN around 7:30 p.m. ET on championship night; if you don’t have ESPN, use a free trial from a live TV streaming service that includes it.
