ESPN’s College GameDay live stream (9/24): How to watch online, TV, time

Gameday #Gameday

ESPN’s “College GameDay” returns for Week 4 of the college football season, traveling to Knoxville, Tenn., to highlight Tennessee-Florida on Saturday, Sept. 24. The show will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (live stream).

The show heads to Knoxville, Tenn., for the 10th time – and its first Rocky Top trip since 2016. The show will be live from Ayres Hall Lawn at the University of Tennessee on Saturday ahead of the No. 11 Vols game against No. 20 Florida.

“College GameDay’s” visit to Knoxville marks the show’s ninth visit to a Florida – Tennessee rivalry game and the 40th “GameDay” show featuring Florida. The trip to the Volunteer State will be the 426th road show.

Rece Davis leads the show in his eighth season as host and is joined at the desk by “GameDay” analysts Desmond Howard, Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso, Pat McAfee and David Pollack. Reporters Jen Lada, Gene Wojciechowski – a Tennessee alum, and newcomer Jess Sims, along with research producer Chris ‘The Bear’ Fallica and college football insider Pete Thamel, round out the “GameDay” crew for the season.

Scheduled Features

  • The Legend of Chad Powers – In this excerpt from “Eli’s Places,” which is streaming exclusively on ESPN+, Eli Manning goes undercover at Penn State to get a true look at the Nittany Lions’ “run-on” program to learn what it takes to make it as a walk-on in college football.
  • Rebirth of a Rivalry? – For years, the Tennessee-Florida rivalry was the September destination stop for college football, thanks to annual top 10 rankings, NFL-caliber rosters and the playful but effective verbal knives thrown at UT’s Phillip Fulmer by his tormentor Steve Spurrier. The rivalry has grown lopsided but it hasn’t grown friendlier as Florida has taken up residence in Tennessee’s collective head. (Reporter: Gene Wojciechowski)
  • Get To Know Hendon Hooker – Jen Lada sits with the Tennessee signal-caller to learn why he says his Goldendoodle has made him a better quarterback and how the thought of not being able to play football changed his outlook on the game, helping him become the leader the Volunteers have been seeking for years.
  • Jimbo Fisher Conversation – Marty Smith visits with the Texas A&M head coach and discusses managing sky-high expectations and more with the seasoned coach.
  • Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel will join the “GameDay” crew during the show along with a live check in from Winston-Salem, N.C., with Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney and Wake Forest head coach Dave Clawson ahead of their match up.

    “College GameDay” will air Saturday, Sept. 24 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. (9 a.m. to noon ET).
