Tennessee vs Ohio State college football livestream: How to watch College Football Playoff game online from anywhere

The Tennessee vs. Ohio State College Football Playoff first round game livestream is one of the first College Football Playoff games of the 2024 college football season — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free!

In the final College Football Playoff matchup of the weekend, the Ohio State Buckeyes play host to the Tennessee Volunteers. And while two storied college football programs may enter this game, only one can leave.

Despite losing their final conference matchup to rival Michigan, Ohio State should be able to handle the pressure. They’re in their sixth College Football Playoff, so this isn’t unfamiliar territory for the 10-2 Buckeyes. But after a shocking loss to Michigan and missing out on the Big Ten championship game, they’re looking to prove they belong in the playoffs as doubts from pundits start to build. The team will need a stellar performance from quarterback Will Howard to keep their championship hopes alive this weekend.

On the other side of the ball, Tennessee is riding high and looking to build on a surprising season. Despite a third-place finish in the SEC and missing out on the conference championship game, their 10-2 record was good enough to earn the Volunteers a berth in the College Football Playoffs. They’re here to prove they belong, but they’ll probably need a great game from running back Dylan Sampson to move on this weekend. Will the Volunteers score a surprise upset? Or will the Buckeyes reign supreme at home? tune into the livestream to find out.
