Most Ohio State football games are carried on the major college football TV partners (ESPN/ABC, FOX, CBS, NBC) plus Big Ten Network, and you can also watch team content directly through Ohio Stateā€™s official site and common liveā€‘TV streaming services.

Main ways to watch

  • Traditional TV (cable/satellite)
    • Regularā€‘season Buckeye games are typically split across FOX, CBS, NBC, ABC/ESPN and Big Ten Network under the Big Tenā€™s current media deals.
* Big Ten title and College Football Playoff games air nationally on major networks (often ESPN for CFP games).
  • Streaming services with live TV
    • Services that bundle ESPN, ABC, FOX, CBS, NBC and Big Ten Network (for example, the big liveā€‘TV streaming bundles) will usually give you access to nearly every Ohio State game in a season.
* These platforms also support DVR, which is helpful for overlapping kickoffs or late games.
  • Ohio State official channels
    • Ohio Stateā€™s official athletics site has a dedicated Watch hub, which aggregates links to live broadcasts, highlights, press conferences and recap shows for football and other sports.
* This is especially useful for offā€‘field content (interviews, features) and sometimes for spring games or nonā€‘standard broadcasts.

Big games and postseason

  • College Football Playoff and New Yearā€™s Six bowls featuring Ohio State are usually on ESPN, with fixed national windows listed on the CFP schedule each year.
  • Schedules and TV assignments for the coming season (including Ohio State) are updated on national schedule pages as networks finalize times and channels.

Quick viewing tips

  • Check the weekly schedule: Look at national college football schedule pages and filter by Ohio State to see exact channel and kickoff time each week.
  • Use the OSU ā€œWatchā€ page on game day: It often posts the correct TV network, streaming links and postgame content all in one place.
