The college football Week 0 TV schedule is upon us after another offseason. Here’s the ultimate viewing guide for college football’s return.

It’s been nine long, draining months without college football. That ends this weekend, though, as there are several contests on the cards. This is a school cafeteria pizza slate; better than nothing, but still gross if you digest it the wrong way.

The biggest matchup of this week is Nebraska vs. Northwestern in Dublin, Ireland. Thankfully, that game is on FOX, so no CBS Sports Network streams are needed.

But, that doesn’t last long. Every other FBS game, save for one and UConn-Utah State, is either on CBS Sports Network or a regional network that not all of the country will get. That makes this a particularly tough slate to catch on TV.

Those games are a patchwork. Some are legitimate Power Five programs opening up the year with a cupcake game against an overmatched squad. Some are Group of Five teams playing other G5 teams in legitimate contests. In all cases, it’s still football.

To help plan your weekend out, we’ve released this guide for the weekend. Games are marked as either watch or not, with the watch category being subdivided into multiple categories should it be needed.

Without further adieu, here’s how to watch this week’s plate of football
