Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl logo

The end of the year brings more than just “Auld Lang Syne.” It also brings college football bowl games, and one of the more interesting games in 2021 is the Peach Bowl. It’s set to go down December 30, and we’re here to tell you how to watch without a cable subscription.

When is the Peach Bowl and Where Can You Watch It?

  • Teams playing: (13) Michigan State Spartans (10-2) vs. (11) Pittsburgh Panthers (11-2)
  • Kickoff: 7 p.m. ET
  • Game location: Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta
  • Where to watch: ESPN

This is an intriguing matchup of two-loss teams. Michigan State plays in the Big Ten, while Pitt plays in the Atlantic Coast Conference, or ACC. These are both cold-weather schools, so the Peach Bowl offers them the chance to get out of the cold and enjoy some relatively mild Southern weather instead.

The game itself is technically a New Year’s Six bowl, even though it’s occurring two days before January 1. Technically speaking, this will be the second Peach Bowl of 2021, as the first one took place January 1 between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Cincinnati Bearcats. Georgia prevailed in a close one, 24-21.

In some years, the Peach Bowl is one of the College Football Playoff matchups. That’s not the case this year, though there’s still plenty of interesting things about the MSU vs Pitt game. Few people expected the Spartans to be this good, especially in new coach Mel Tucker’s first year. Meanwhile, Pitt enters the game as ACC champions, led by veteran coach Pat Narduzzi. Quarterback Kenny Pickett came in third place in this year’s Heisman voting, but he’s decided to opt out of the bowl game, meaning Nick Patti will start at QB instead.

How to Watch the Peach Bowl Game

ESPN loves airing college football games, especially bowl games. So it’s no surprise that ESPN will be the only place you can watch the latest edition of the Peach Bowl.

More to Watch for Peach Bowl Fans

The Peach Bowl is a stellar way to wind down the year that was 2021. But once the game is over, you may want to say goodbye to this year in a more formal way. That’s right, we’re talking about the famed ball drop in Times Square, which means we’re talking about Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. It’s now hosted by Ryan Seacrest, but it still bears the name of the late, great Dick Clark. In fact, this year will be the 50th year for the special. Head over to our Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve page to find out how to watch this end-of-year classic.
