I will admit it, I am on the Buffs bandwagon. Colorado football is must watch TV this season even though their patchwork offensive line will set a ceiling against the best competition (as we saw in the Oregon game). Nevertheless, what Deon and Company have been able to do in Boulder with a team that went 1-11 just last season is nothing short of miraculous. Colorado has set records this season with TV viewership off the charts. Over 8 million viewers watched the Nebraska game, and even lesser opponents like CSU have drawn eyeballs.
If you thought Deon Sanders taking over as Colorado’s head coach was a compelling reason to tune into Buffs games this season, you’ll be even more motivated to watch Colorado football when you learn that two his sons play for the Buffs, Shedeur Sanders, is the team’s starting QB, and Shilo Sanders plays CB.
Football fans on the Front Range can live-stream Colorado Buffaloes football in 2023, but choosing a live TV streaming service that carries the PAC-12 Network in its channel lineup is necessary.
The Buffaloes appeared on the PAC-12 Network 6 times in 2022, and with that trend likely to continue in 2023, Buffaloes fans will be forced to choose between Sling TV and Fubo “Sports Lite,” as the only streaming platforms that currently offer PAC-12 Network. Our top pick for watching Colorado football is fuboTV’s “Sports Lite” package, which offers significantly better sports coverage than even the best Sling TV upgrades. Fubo also carries KCNC-TV CBS 4 Colorado for watching the Broncos on Sundays.

How to watch Colorado football on Fubo
If the goal is watching the Colorado Buffaloes football team this season, there is no better choice than fuboTV’s “Sports Lite” package. Fubo “Sports Lite” offers the PAC-12 Network as well as all the additional channels you need to watch both college and pro football, including KCNC-TV CBS 4 Colorado.
Fubo also carries the channels Buffs fans need to watch the big nationally televised Colorado football games like Oregon, TCU, UCLA, and USC, often in 4K.
As an added bonus, Fubo carries Altitude Sports for watching Avalanche hockey games in the mountain west region.
How to watch Colorado football on Sling TV
Sling TV Blue + Sports Extra doesn’t offer complete coverage of Colorado football, but does offer FS1 and PAC-12 Network at a good price. Upgrading to Sling TV Orange & Blue + Sports Extra gets fans the ESPN family of channels, which offers more coverage.
However, the lack of FOX, CBS, and NBC in Denver means that some of the biggest games this season will be blacked out on Sling TV.
Fubo is a better option for watching Deon’s inaugural season on the Colorado sideline.
How to watch Colorado football on YouTube TV
YouTube TV carries FOX, CBS, FS1, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, and many more sports channels, so Buffs fans can tune in for about half of the team’s games. However, YouTube TV is missing PAC-12 Network, which means major gaps in Colorado football coverage in 2023.
Although we love YouTube TV as an option for streaming college and pro football, there are better options for watching the Buffs in 2023 than YouTube TV.
