Some of the top college football programs in the country will take the field on Saturday for their annual spring games, giving fans a glimpse of their favorite teams ahead of the 2024 season.
Plenty of SEC squads will be in action, including perennial national title contenders like Alabama and Georgia. The Crimson Tide in particular will be worth watching, as they won’t have legendary head coach Nick Saban on the sideline for the first time since 2006.
There are also notable Big Ten spring games with Ohio State and Penn State players ready to suit up. The Buckeyes’ offense may look slightly different this year now that former UCLA head coach Chip Kelly has stepped in as the new offensive coordinator.
Here is everything you need to know about Saturday’s spring football schedule, including kickoff times and TV and streaming options for each game.
