Welcome to the Big Ten, UCLA. Today’s UCLA vs. Hawaii game marks the Bruins’ first game in the conference. Keep reading to find out how and when to watch today’s NCAA college football game, even if you don’t have cable. 
The UCLA vs. Hawaii game will be played on Saturday, August 31, 2024 at 7:30 p.m. ET (7:30 p.m. PT). The college football game will air on CBS, and stream on Paramount+ with Showtime and the platforms featured below.
While many cable packages include CBS it’s easy to watch the game if CBS isn’t included in your cable TV subscription, or if you don’t have cable at all. Your best options for watching are below. (Streaming options will require an internet provider.)
If you want to spend your weekend watching football but don’t have a cable subscription, consider a subscription to Paramount+ with Showtime. Paramount+ with Showtime gives viewers access to all CBS original content, movies and more. You can watch college football live on the Paramount+ with Showtime subscription tier, starting at $12.99 per month.
A sports-lovers dream, the platform live streams NFL football games airing on CBS, NCAA college football, PGA Tour golf, professional soccer.
What you can stream with Paramount+: 
You can also add Paramount+ with Showtime to your Prime Video subscription to access CBS-aired college and NFL games, plus Paramount+ originals. Add Paramount+ with Showtime to your Prime Video subscription to get access to CBS-aired college football and more for $12.99 per month after a seven-day free trial. 
If you don’t have cable TV that includes CBS, one of the most cost-effective ways to stream college football this season is through a subscription to Sling TV. We suggest leveling up your coverage to the Orange + Blue with Sports Extra tier to get more NFL and college football games this fall.
The Orange + Blue plan regularly costs $60 per month, but the streamer currently offers a half-off promotion for your first month, so you’ll pay just $30. The Orange + Blue with Sports Extra plan is $45 for your first month and $75 per month after. The Sports Extra add-on features 18 channels, including NFL Redzone, ESPNU, SEC Network, Big 10 Network and ACC Network, making it ideal for pro and college football fans.
The streamer is also currently offering big savings on four months of the Orange + Blue tier plus the Sports Extra plan when you prepay for the Sling TV Season Pass. The plan costs $219, reduced from $300.
Note: Because Sling TV does not carry CBS, Sling subscribers will want to add Paramount+ to their bundle. The Sling + Paramount+ still offers the most cost-effective way to stream NFL games airing on network TV. (Paramount+ and CBS Essentials are both subsidiaries of Paramount Global.)

You can also watch sports airing on network TV with an affordable indoor antenna, which pulls in local over-the-air HDTV channels such as CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, PBS, Univision and more. Here’s the kicker: There’s no monthly charge.
For anyone living in a partially blocked-off area (those near mountains or first-floor apartments), a digital TV antenna may not pick up a good signal — or any signal at all. But for many homes, a digital TV antenna provides a seriously inexpensive way to watch sports without paying a cable company. Indoor TV antennas can also provide some much-needed TV backup if a storm knocks out your cable.
This ultra-thin, multi-directional Mohu Leaf Supreme Pro digital antenna with a 65-mile range can receive hundreds of HD TV channels and can filter out cellular and FM signals. It delivers a high-quality picture in 1080p HDTV and top-tier sound. It features a 12-foot digital coax cable.
