It’s time for the first college football game of 2025.
This afternoon, No. 4 Arizona State Sun Devils will meet No. 5 University of Texas Longhorns in the Peach Bowl.
In the No. 4 seed, the Sun Devils are the lowest-ranked conference champion (they finished 12th overall in CFP standings) to receive a bye directly into the quarterfinals. The Longhorns went into the first round as the biggest favorite to advance, and they did with a 38-24 victory over Clemson. They’re also entering today’s quarterfinal as the biggest favorite of the round to advance into the semifinals.
A full day of college football kicks off with the Peach Bowl; here’s everything you need to know to tune in.
Arizona State takes on the University of Texas in the Peach Bowl today, January 1, at 1:00 p.m. EST.
Arizona State vs. Texas will air on ESPN, so if you have access to the channel, just turn it on at game time to watch.
If you don’t have cable, the only way to stream the Arizona State vs. Texas Peach Bowl for free is to use a live TV streaming service with a free trial.
We recommend DIRECTV Stream, which offers a five-day free trial for new subscribers. When the trial is over, you’ll pay $86.98/month and gain access to over 90 live channels including ESPN and ABC (where other CFP and Bowl games will air this season).
While Sling TV doesn’t have a free trial, its affordable plans and great first-month offers make it an excellent choice if you’re looking to save some cash and watch the rest of the CFP and Bowl series.
Sling TV’s Orange plan includes ESPN, and right now, you can get 50% off your first month. Instead of $45.99, you’ll pay $23.
The Peach Bowl between Arizona State and Texas is being played, as it is every year, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, GA.
Joe Tessitore will be on the call for the Peach Bowl with color commentary from Jesse Palmer, with sideline reporting by Katie George.
There’s still a lot of college football to be played before January 20. For a closer look at all remaining games, here’s who’s playing and when from tonight, all the way through the National Championship.
