Buckeye Up! But Can You See the Game on Roku?
Ah, college football season. A time for crisp autumn air (eventually), the joyous (?) sounds of stadium vendors, and the age-old question: can you actually watch the dang game? Especially if you're a die-hard Ohio State fan rocking a Roku device, this question can feel more suspenseful than a fourth-down play. Fear not, fellow Buckeye brethren, for we shall delve into the world of Roku and unveil the mysteries of Ohio State game viewing!
The Great Streaming Divide: Cable vs. Cord Cutters
First things first, are you a cable traditionalist clinging to your remote like a security blanket, or a cord-cutting rebel who streams with the fury of a thousand laptops?
Cable Champions: If you have a cable subscription that includes the channel broadcasting the Ohio State game (usually Fox Sports, FS1, ESPN, or BTN), you're in luck! Simply fire up the Roku app for that channel, log in with your cable info, and settle in for some Buckeye glory.
Cord Cutters, Fear Not!: There are still ways to watch the game without cable. Here's where things get interesting...
The Streaming Showdown: Finding Your Champion
Several streaming services offer live sports, but not all include the channel showing the Ohio State game. Here are a few top contenders:
QuickTip: Pause when something clicks.
Paramount+ (with CBS Sports): This might be your best bet, as CBS sometimes carries Big Ten games. However, be sure to check the schedule to see if the Ohio State game is included. Paramount+ offers a free trial, but after that it's a paid subscription.
YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV: These services offer a variety of channels, including some that might broadcast the Ohio State game. Again, double-check the channel lineups before you sign up. These are usually paid subscriptions as well.
The Roku Channel: This free channel offers some live sports content, but it's unlikely to include the Ohio State game. However, they might have some pre-game shows or highlights to keep you entertained.
Remember: The key here is to research the specific channel broadcasting the game and see if it's included in any of your streaming services (or Roku's free offerings).
