Where to watch Indiana vs. Miami
- The CFP national championship game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN.
Indiana has always been known as a basketball school, but tonight it has a chance to stamp itself as a football power. The Hoosiers are one win away from completing an undefeated season and winning their first national championship in college football history.
Standing in the Hoosiers' way are the Miami Hurricanes, who squeaked into the 12-team playoff as the No. 10 seed before knocking off three higher seeds on their way to tonight's championship game. A fourth victory would earn Miami its first football title in a quarter century.
The CFP national championship between No. 1 Indiana and No. 10 Miami takes place at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, home of the NFL's Miami Dolphins, giving the Hurricanes a bit of a home field advantage. The game kicks off tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET (4:30 p.m. PT) on ESPN. Keep reading to see the best options for watching or streaming it.
