Rose Bowl 2025

Live Stream, TV Coverage, Tickets, Start Time, Lineup

The Rose Bowl Game is a key part of the college football holiday tradition in the United States, where large scale games take place across the country, including such well known and popular games as the Cotton Bowl in Texas, Peach Bowl in Georgia and Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, all leading up to the College Football National Championship in mid January, an event which is effectively the Super Bowl of the college football calendar.

The Rose Bowl takes place at the stadium of the same name in Pasadena, California, and is preceded each year by the Tournament of Roses and Rose Parade events, which are attended by crowds of many thousand who then either head to the stadium for the game or to the local bars and homes to watch live on the TV - watching college football with family and friends either live or on the television is very much a part of the modern American holiday tradition.

TV & Live Streaming

The US broadcast rights for the Rose Bowl have now been secured by ESPN. To watch online this does require a payable subscription but there is normally the convenience of a 24 hour pass if you just wish to pay for one game rather than an ongoing monthly subscription. If you're a regular football watcher though the annual fee represents a decent overall saving:
