Highly doubtful it'll be shown on Sky Sports. The last few years it's been shown on BT Sports (now TNT Sports) but I don't believe they have even confirmed they are showing it yet.

In recent seasons, sky sports have only shown notre Dame home games as notre Dame have a deal with Nbc.

This seems to be the position again as the match against Navy in Dublin is live this Saturday on sky sports

It's been confirmed TNT Sports aren't showing any this season,  Their deal with Disney(ESPN) wasn't renewed (they hold the international rights to CBS game of the week aswell)

Just thought you might be interested in knowing that there are stacks of full college games on YouTube throughout the season.

Looks like Sky have picked up ESPN college football rights showing in the EPG from tomorrow

Great news.

2pm College Gameday

5pm Louisville at Miami

8.30pm Wake Forest at Notre Dame (as planned),

12.30am Washington at Oregon State

Hopefully the play offs, some other bowl games and the Championship game to come.

Happy days! I was literally readying to cancel my sports subscriptions with Sky because no college football! Delighted now!

Really happy when I saw Sky was showing games other than Notre Dame , been waiting for someone to pick up NCAA footbal since BT sold it's sports package to TNT and they dropped it ( I dropped them as soon as I found out ! ) . Anyone have ideas on how to let Sky know we approve and can they show the bowl and CFP games ?

[Dee846]

They agreed a deal for College Gameday Live, 3 live games a week and all Bowl Games for 2024+2025.

Great job on getting the College Football/Basketball rights in the UK. Are there any plans to carry shows like Pardon The Interruption / Around The Horn / SportsCenter, even if only on demand?

Used to be shown on a competitor channel. Pretty sure some feeds prevent all the sports being displayed in motion which appreciate may cause some coverage issues over here in the UK.

@ashmmorris89 As customers, nobody on here would know.

This deal is for NCAA football and basketball specifically. It's not an ESPN agreement so no, the content you mention won't feature. 

The reason it was available via BT Sport was due to a full ESPN licence agreement. This isn't in the same mould and is purely for specific content only, namely the ESPN-distributed NCAA properties.

As most of the College football takes place on Saturdays, little clash with NFL,  and why not take ESPN's excellent Sunday round-up programme and late Tuesday/ early Wednesday's Ranking programme. ?

( PS. I used to have access to the ESPN College coverage but TNT have scrapped this option.  Surely an opportunity for Sky to jump in as being a good fit with their excellent NFL coverage.  Anyone who has been in the "Big House " with 105,000 others for a Michigan game would understand what i am on about. )
