College football is super-sizing its playoffs this year, which should bring more attention to teams like top-ranked University of Oregon.

The college football quarterfinals have arrived, and among the highly-anticipated games is a can't-miss Oregon vs. Ohio State Big Ten showdown. We'll show you how to watch the Rose Bowl from home, including live streaming options for those without cable.

The Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes meet for a second time this season. They last played in a tight October game that saw the Ducks win by just one point, with a final 32-31 score. Oregon has had a stellar, undefeated season, the only team to pull off the feat for the 2024-2025 season. They're new to the Big Ten and have provided a strong challenge for conference mainstays like Ohio State. The Buckeyes have also had a solid season this year, going 11-2. The two Big Ten giants are ranked first (Oregon) and fourth (Ohio State) in their conference this year.

Below, we've outlined all the details for tuning into today's game. For more college football games, make sure to bookmark our how to watch college football streaming guide.

What channel is the Rose Bowl on?

The Rose Bowl will air on ESPN in the US. The game will kick off on Wednesday, January 1, at 5 p.m. ET. This is the second college football quarterfinal game today and will be immediately followed by the Sugar Bowl.

How to watch the Rose Bowl in the US

If you don't have access to ESPN through traditional cable methods, you don't need to worry about missing out on the game. You can tune into ESPN through a live TV streaming service like Sling TV, Fubo, or DirecTV Stream. These are three of the best sports streaming services out there. Plus, they offer month-to-month options, so you don't need to worry about long-term contracts.

Sling TV is the cheapest of the bunch. The live TV service offers ESPN and 34 other live channels through its Sling Orange plan. Subscriptions cost $46/month, but you can get your first month for half-off right now, making it just a $23 investment upfront.

If you're looking for a more comprehensive cable alternative, Fubo or DirecTV Stream might be the way to go. The live TV streaming packages carry at least 90 live channels, although you can get more than 200 depending on which plan you choose. Fubo subscriptions start at $80/month, but the service will knock up to $35 off your first month of service. DirecTV Stream subscriptions start at $87/month, but new customers can try it out free for five days.

How to watch the Rose Bowl from anywhere

You can still watch the Rose Bowl even if you're traveling outside of the US with the help of a VPN (virtual private network). VPNs are easy-to-use cybersecurity tools that allow people to change their virtual location, meaning that they can use most of their usual websites and apps from anywhere. This option will work best for Americans who are simply traveling abroad at the moment since the services we've recommended today require US payment methods.

ExpressVPN is our go-to recommendation. It's user-friendly, comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, and has tons of other perks, which we outline in our ExpressVPN review. Keep reading to learn how to use a VPN.

How to watch the Rose Bowl with a VPN

  • Sign up for a VPN if you don't have one.
  • Install it on the device you're using to watch.
  • Turn it on and set it to a US location.
  • Sign up for Sling or Fubo if you don't already have an account.
  • Enjoy the game.

Note: Using VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
