Where to Watch Penn State Football Online

Penn State games are broadcast on several major networks depending on the match up. Most of them are part of the Big Ten Conference, so expect coverage on:

• Fox / FS1 
• CBS 
• NBC 
• Big Ten Network (BTN) 
• ESPN / ABC (for select non-conference games)
  

These channels are available on most live TV streaming platforms — meaning you can ditch cable completely and still catch every game.

Free (and Legal) Ways to Watch Penn State Games

Honestly, who doesn’t love free options? While full-season access usually requires a subscription, here are some free ways to catch a few games:

• Use free trials: Rotate trials between YouTube TV, FuboTV, and Hulu Live. You can watch several games before committing. 
• Watch via official network apps: Sometimes, networks like CBS or NBC stream games live on their apps or websites no login required for select broadcasts. 
• Local channels (with antenna): If you’re in Pennsylvania, an HD antenna can grab CBS, FOX, or NBC for free.

Watching Without Cable

You don’t need cable to keep up with Penn State football anymore. Here’s how you can stream seamlessly:

1. Get a live TV streaming service — YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV works best. 
2. Sign in to network apps — Use your streaming account to log into the FOX Sports, NBC Sports, or BTN apps. 
3. Watch on any device — Phone, tablet, smart TV, or laptop. 
4. Use DVR to record games — Great if you’re busy during game time.

How to Watch from Outside the U.S.

Travelling abroad during the season? You can still watch every Penn State game  just with a small trick.

• Use a trusted VAN like Nordic or Express. 
• Connect to a U.S. server. 
• Log into your streaming account (Hulu, YouTube TV, etc.). 
• Watch the game live as if you were back home.
  

Just make sure your streaming service doesn’t block VPNs — some do, so check before game day.

Tips for the Best Viewing Experience

Here’s what I’ve learned from years of watching college football online:

• Test your stream early — don’t wait until kickoff. 
• Use a wired connection for smoother HD playback. 
• Turn off notifications — avoid score spoilers if you’re watching with delay. 
• Adjust video quality manually if your internet slows down.
