How to Watch Texas College Football Games on TV in 2024 with & without Cable: Full Streaming Guide

Quinn Ewers returns to helm as Texas offense that averaged 36 points per game last year. He'll be protected up front by four returning starters as well. But his skill players... that's an entirely different story.

The Longhorns lost Adonai Mitchell, Xavier Worthy, Jordan Whittington, Jonathan Brooks and Ja'Tavion Sanders - so head coach Steve Sarkisian turned to the transfer portal.

In steps Isaiah Bond and Amari Niblack (Alabama), Matthew Golden (Houston) and Salas Bolden (Oregon St.) to fill the voids.

Ewers is a Heisman Trophy favorite and this Texas offense has reloaded. So you don't want to miss a game.

Special Considerations for College Football Streaming

Blackout Restrictions

• Blackout restrictions occur when a certain broadcast has been sold to a particular network or region by the league or rightsholder. These are used to protect the party that owns the rights to the broadcast, and to encourage users to seek out their broadcast.
• It is rare for blackout restrictions to pop up during college football season, however, a VPN would allow someone to circumvent any restrictions by changing their IP address.

International Viewing

• International college football fans would be well served to sign up for a VPN. With a VPN, their IP address could be changed on the fly, allowing them to sign up for any US streaming service.
• We won't promote any particular VPN here, but there are dozens of options.

Free Trials and Promotions

• FuboTV offers a weeklong free trial to new users. YouTube TV has an offer for new users allowing them to save $30 for their first three months. Hulu's free trial is just 72 hours.
• To get the most bang for your buck, we'd recommend signing up for FuboTV during Week Zero, allowing you to get two week's worth of games during the free trial period.
