Watching with the London Gator Club

Oh My Gators, I don’t even want to speak about it.
So let’s just say for now- LSU is a night game and we won’t be getting together for that.  Later in the week the Miami game time will be decided.  So it’s currently a wait and see game.
  It seems not all the usual spots are able to take advantage of the ESPN streaming yet… So we have to wait for the Gator game to be selected by Sky sports and not so much this week.  Read below how you can watch on your own.

When we do get to together the plan is at favourite place:
The Moretown Belle- check over to the right on this page below the schedule to find their address.  Please do check back here the week of the game to confirm the place to watch.

For the most upto date chance of watching together double check the Facebook page:

Now for those times we can’t get together for those late games…

The straight forward method is using the official broadcast rights holder to NCAA football games- Sky Sports.  The issue is that they are only showing 3 games a week in the UK. Which means the chance of seeing UF play in a non-major game is slim.

But what about streaming you ask? Well officially we now have a single choice for the UK. DAZN.
DAZN is a streaming service that everyone in the UK can use to sign-up for different sports they prefer to watch when ever they want.  A popular example is the NFL Game pass.  By signing up for any streaming service, DAZN will be throwing in some of the ESPN NCAA games streaming for FREE for 2025.  It is not all the games, but it does include College GameDay.  Sadly it currently does not include College Football Final. Nor does it guarantee to have the game you want to watch- but currently it seems to have all the Gator games for as far out as it lists.

This by far is your best simple option.

That being said, if you are willing to work a little bit things have changed in the USA and what now is available.  Both ESPN and Fox now have subscription services independent from cable providers.  This is brand new and both begin in Aug-2025.

What can we watch next?

First things first- you need a VPN (virtual private network)- this allows you to surf the internet from where ever you are but appear like you are in a certain region of the world. This webmaster recommends NordVPN [yes click that] for ease of use — The webmaster has been with NordVPN for almost 10 years now and it is simple to use on your computer or phone. And of course using the link above will give a slight kickback to the webmaster who pays for this website out of their own pocket [so please use the link] Reality though any VPN should work fine.

Now how does that help a person who, like the webmaster, is based in the UK?

Well this does allow your computer to be in the US and access those sites as if you are a resident of that country- which is necessary for all the US sports streaming.  And then you still need to get access to the streams of the games and as of August 2025 [prices may change during the season] these are the potential ‘legal’ options-

[Last updated on 06-Sep-2025]

ESPN Streaming-   For those of us living here in the UK it’s really only 1 plan of use- that’s the Unlimited plan.  This will have every ESPN network, plus SEC network, ABC sports, and few others [ACC network, etc].  This will include on-demand replay of events [the biggest deal for the late games and shows like College Football Final].  As of the time this is written- there will be a few price options: 1) $30/month or $300/year ; 2) $30/month special to include Hulu and Disney Plus for 12 months; or 3) $40/month with Fox streaming [but will not be offered until October]

Fox One Streaming- And this too is brand new- again not much known.  Will have the Big Ten games and well all the Fox Sports networks and a few Fox networks [this does mean NFL games too if you aren’t already using DAZN- which is the best way to watch those games].  Currently the cost for this by itself is $20/month.  But ESPN and Fox have created a new plan that will begin in October for $40/month.  So again your own call.

This webmaster has discovered a few things for the 2025 year of college football:
1) If you are like the webmaster wanting to take advantage of the ESPN streaming you need to have a credit card that has a US address to use.  AND it seems an ESPN/Disney account that does not have outside USA address listings.  The webmaster kept getting blocked from signing up for the service using an already established email that has UK address listings it seems.  Once a new email address was created the streaming service accepted the same exact credit card.  So good luck!

2) Normal Youtube is the wildest.  Some games can be found streaming live.  But there is no promise you find the game you want or that it will remain up the whole game.

3) IPTV -  Internet Protocol TV is legal for channels from countries that broadcast their feed for free, but run into legality issues for other channels. Using such sites require VPNs, special software/apps, devices such as a fire stick or android TV box, and a subscription that runs much cheaper than the options above.  Again the legal issues of such product tend to keep people away.

4) One could also try and find some less than reputable places on the inter webs, but again VPN is needed along with good virus/malware detection.  This webmaster does not recommend this nor endorses this choice.

Good luck!
