A highly anticipated showdown on The CW sees the No. 5 Miami Hurricanes taking on No. 18 South Florida. The Bulls are coming off a massive win over Florida last week, an upset that set the stage for a Week 3 Top 25 showdown.<\/p>\n
The Bulls have back-to-back ranked victories as they look to make it three straight. With plenty of key games to keep an eye on, it\u2019s worth noting just how much money college football fans have to spend to watch every single game.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Football The Rising Cost of Being a College Football Fan<\/h2>\n
Media rights have taken over the world as subscription services and national outlets are doing whatever they can to secure the biggest games of the week. Never before has The CW, a channel that has mostly been carrying Pac-12 and Mountain West games this season, seen a game of this magnitude.<\/p>\n
Ultimately, though, they are one of 24 channels or services on which college football games can be watched during Week 3<\/a>.<\/p>\n Dennis Dodd, a former writer for CBS Sports<\/a>, took to social media to break down all of the networks. He took his information directly from\u00a0NCAA.com,<\/a> as a massive list was revealed, breaking down the true cost of being a college football fan.<\/p>\n FYI, to watch all the FBS games today you\u2019d need \u2026<\/p>\n ABC\u2070FOX \u2014 Dennis Dodd (@dennisdoddcbs) September 13, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n First, it begins with the major networks. An antenna is one of the easiest ways to view over-the-air channels, including ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and The CW. From there, things get interesting. There are plenty of major games on ABC and FOX, but most college football fans don\u2019t want to settle for just the marquee matchups.<\/p>\n ESPN+ features select games at $11.99 a month. The new ESPN Unlimited plan costs $29.99 a month but allows fans to view games on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network, SECN+, and the ACC Network.<\/p>\n Three other subscription services are necessary if a college football fan doesn\u2019t want to miss a second of the action.<\/p>\n Paramount+ and Peacock Premium both start at $7.99 a month. CBS and NBC run those services, respectively. HBO Max is slightly more expensive, starting at $9.99 a month. FOX One can be used for Big 10 games, though it has a high pricetag of $19.99 per month.<\/p>\n\n
