Summer is over and school is back in session but that also means that NCAA sport is back, too. And you’ve landed in the right place to discover how to live stream college football right up to the National Championship.
2019 is a huge year for college football as the sport is celebrating its 150th anniversary.
This season teams from most FBS schools will be sporting a patch with the CFB150 logo on their jerseys and some schools are even going the extra mile by including the logo as part of their field designs. Teams outfitted by Under Armour will even be bringing back some retro jersey designs to celebrate the anniversary.
When it comes to football though, this season all eyes will be on the Clemson Tigers as they look to overtake the Alabama Crimson Tide as the most dominant team in college football. Last year the Tigers crushed the Tide 44 to 16 in the national championship to regain their title after having lost it to the Tide in 2017. Last season the Tigers also became the first team in modern college football history to finish a season 15-0.
Whether you’re rooting for a team in the Big Ten, Pac-12, SEC, ACC, Big 12 or Big East conference this season, Tech Radar will show you how to live stream every college football game this season so you don’t miss a single touchdown.
