BYU Cougars football is a thrilling spectacle, and knowing how to catch the action is crucial for any dedicated fan. This guide covers various options for watching BYU games, regardless of your location or preferred viewing method.
Where Can I Watch BYU Football Games?
This depends heavily on where the game is being broadcast. There isn't one single channel that broadcasts every BYU game. Several factors influence where you can watch:
-
National TV Broadcasts: Major networks like ESPN, ABC, CBS, and FOX often pick up high-profile BYU games. These games are usually widely available through traditional cable or satellite television providers. Check your local listings closer to game day.
-
Streaming Services: Many streaming services carry ESPN, ABC, CBS, and FOX, such as YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, fuboTV, and Sling TV. These provide a convenient alternative to traditional cable. However, make sure the specific streaming service you choose carries the network broadcasting the game.
-
BYUtv: BYU's own television network, BYUtv, frequently broadcasts games. Check their schedule to see if they are showing the particular game you're interested in. BYUtv is accessible through various streaming platforms and some cable providers.
-
ESPN+: Some games, especially those that are not nationally televised, may air exclusively on ESPN+. This requires a separate subscription.
How Can I Find Out What Channel a BYU Game is On?
The best way to find out which channel is broadcasting a specific BYU football game is by checking the following resources:
-
The Official BYU Athletics Website: This is your primary source for the most up-to-date information. Their schedule usually includes the TV channel and streaming options for each game.
-
ESPN's Website or App: ESPN's website and app are excellent resources for finding college football game information, including channel listings.
-
Your Cable or Satellite Provider's Website or App: Most providers allow you to search their channel guide by date and time to find the game.
-
TV Guide Listings: Traditional TV guides (printed or online) will often list college football games.
What if I Live Outside the US?
For fans outside the United States, access to BYU games can be more challenging. Your options may include:
-
ESPN International: Check if your region has access to an international version of ESPN that shows BYU games.
-
Streaming Services with International Coverage: Some streaming services offer broader international coverage than others. Check their specific offerings in your region.
-
Online Streaming Options (Use Caution): While several unofficial streaming sites may offer games, be cautious of copyright infringement. It's always best to use official, legal streaming options.
Are there any apps for watching BYU football?
Many streaming apps offer access to channels that broadcast BYU football games, as mentioned above. However, there's no dedicated BYU football-only app. You'll need to use the app of the specific streaming service or network showing the game.
Can I watch BYU games on demand?
The availability of on-demand replays depends on the broadcaster and their agreements. Some games might be available on-demand through the network's website or app shortly after airing, while others may not be offered for replay.
Remember to check the official BYU Athletics website and other reputable sources for the most accurate and up-to-date information on where to watch each game. Go Cougars!
