Where can I watch college football in Columbus?

Is there an alumni bar in Columbus for my school?

The sections on this page split them by what the evidence says: 1 is a fan bar or game-day home for a specific team, which is where the crowd and the sound will be; 4 show college football week in, week out.

When are the next College Football games?

Next up: College football Week 1 begins on Sat 5 Sep 2026 (time to be confirmed); Miami at Stanford on Sat 5 Sep 2026, 01:00 UTC; Auburn vs Baylor, Aflac Kickoff Game on Sat 5 Sep 2026, 19:30 UTC. The season runs from late August to the January playoff, and Saturday kickoffs are stacked from noon to past midnight Eastern, so the venues that matter are the ones that give one school a screen and the sound instead of rotating all day.
