The teams' last meeting was in 2021, when Oregon won the first game in the two teams' direct history. Perhaps the most famous matchup between Ohio State and Oregon was the 2014 National Championship. In the game, which took place in January 2015, Ohio State outperformed and won 42-20. This season, both teams enter the game with an undefeated 5-0 record, but only one can continue its winning streak.

If you don't have cable or access to NBC via an antenna, you can live stream the network using a streaming service such as Peacock, Sling TV, Fubo, or DirecTV Stream. We'll highlight the services below, but you can also read them in more detail in our guide to the best sports streaming services.

The cheapest option today is Peacock. You must subscribe to Peacock Premium Plus for $14/month to get access to NBC live streaming. This also unlocks ad-free on-demand streaming. If this seems like something you could stick with for a year, you can save money by subscribing to an annual plan for $140/year.

Sling TV, DirecTV Stream, and Fubo all offer multiple live channels in their packages, including NBC. Sling TV is the cheapest of the three options, with subscriptions starting at $40/month (though you can get $25 off your first month). You must subscribe to Sling Blue to access NBC and over 40 other channels. However, Sling's local channel coverage varies from region to region. You should therefore check your zip code before subscribing to ensure you can access NBC.

DirecTV Stream and Fubo offer slightly more extensive (and more expensive) live TV packages. DirecTV Stream plans start at $87/month and offer over 90 channels in addition to NBC. The service also offers a five-day free trial. Fubo plans start at $80/month and include NBC and over 100 channels. In addition to Fubo's seven-day free trial, new customers receive $20 off their first month of service.
