The Buffs are now in the Big 12. 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.

Top picks

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 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.


Sling TV Blue + Sports Extra doesn’t offer complete coverage of Colorado football, but does offer FS1 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.


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.

Although we love YouTube TV as an option for streaming college and pro football, there are better options for watching the Buffs than YouTube TV.
