YouTube TV-ESPN saga: How to watch first College Football Playoff rankings show

The first College Football Playoff rankings of the 2025 season will be revealed on Tuesday evening.

The rankings reveal will be broadcast on ESPN, with a start time slated for 8 p.m. ET. However, YouTube TV subscribers will not be able to watch unless an agreement is reached with Disney to end the ongoing carriage dispute between the two parties. Barring a last-minute deal, ESPN channels will not be available on YouTube TV in time for the rankings reveal on Tuesday night.
