What better way to start off the 2025 NCAA college football season than with two juggernauts going head-to-head? For Saturday’s “Big Noon Kickoff,” the reigning title defender Ohio State Buckeyes play host to a top-ranked Texas Longhorns squad with their new trending quarterback, Archie Manning. Kicking off August 30 at noon ET, this is one football game college fans can’t miss.

Yes, it’s Labor Day Weekend, and yes, most people are headed to the beach, but with so many headlines leading into this matchup, including Lee Corso’s final College Gameday appearance, how could you not be in the radius of a TV? However, if your family does drag you to the shore or a cookout, here’s everything you need to know about streaming the Texas vs. Ohio State Game online from your TV, laptop, and phone on Sling TV.

How to Watch Texas vs. Ohio State, at a glance:

On one hand, we have the No. 1 Texas Longhorns on the road with their new starting QB, Manning, who sat behind Quinn Ewers the past two seasons and is now looking to have a breakout season and live up to the legacy of his uncles Payton and Eli Manning. On the other hand, we have No. 3 Ohio State Buckeyes looking to defend their national championship title, as well as their home field.

If that wasn’t a big enough reason to tune in, watching Corso’s farewell on College Gameday is a must-watch for any NCAA football fan. His final headgear pick will also be made at the same place where the tradition started 29 years ago, as Lee donned a Brutus head in his first-ever headgear pick before Ohio State’s 1996 win over Penn State.
