Watch College Football Playoff National Championship 2026 live streams as the five-time NCAA champions Miami Hurricanes look to finally inflict a defeat on championship game debutants the Indiana Hoosiers. Below we have information on how to watch the this year's college football finale from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and where you can watch them for FREE.
Having already defeated defending national champions Ohio earlier in the playoffs, Miami are having a 100th anniversary year to remember. And it was only made more memorable still when they squeezed past Ole Miss in the Fiesta Bowl. Carson Beck was the hero of the hour, running over for the scramble touchdown with only 18 seconds left on the clock. Now he and the Hurricanes get to go for the championship in their own home – Florida's Hard Rock Stadium.
Curt Cignetti's Indiana Hoosiers, however, look absolutely indestructible as they prepare for their first ever National Championship game. If there was any notion of nerves playing a factor in their semifinal against Oregon, Fernando Mendoza and co quelled them in style. They pulled off a 56-22 Peach Bowl destruction job and you get the feeling that taking on the Hurricanes in Florida won't phase this group of young men one bit.
