Clemson vs Georgia livestream: How to watch college football Week 1 game online from anywhere

Clemson vs Georgia livestream: How to watch college football Week 1 game online from anywhere.

The Clemson vs. Georgia livestream is the first top 15 matchup of the 2024 college football season — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free!

There's a real chance that this is one of the best games of the entire year, let alone Week 1. Clemson and Georgia both boast elite programs with championship pedigree and top 15 rankings. Both will be eyeing this year's 12-team College Football Playoff and consider making a baseline for the season rather than a stretch goal.

That said, one of these teams is expected to be better. 14th-ranked Clemson is no slouch. Last year the Tigers had the 21st-ranked team defense. This year, they'll hope to build on that strength, led by defensive end TJ Parker (5.5 sacks in 2023) and safety Khalil Barnes (3 interceptions, 3 forced fumbles). But they only scored 29.8 points per game, which was just 52nd best in the FBS.

29.8 points won't be good enough to beat Georgia. The top-ranked Bulldogs scored 40.1 points per game (5th in FBS) and quarterback Carson Beck is a Heisman favorite this year. The defense isn't a weak spot for Georgia either — they allowed just 15.6 points per game (5th in FBS). 

After missing out on the playoffs last year thanks to an SEC Championship Game loss to Alabama, Georgia will be looking to score a statement win with this game. But Clemson has an opportunity to take an early hold of the top spot in the ACC thanks to Florida State's loss to Georgia Tech last week. A win against Georgia would give them an advantage in the standings and the College Football Rankings that could be a difference-maker at the end of the year.

The big pre-game news is transfer student Trevor Etienne will serve a one-game suspension and will not participate in this game. Etienne was arrested for DUI (driving under the influence) in March, triggering a one-game suspension per school rules. 

Make sure you don't miss Clemson vs. Georgia, or any of this season's college football with our 2024 college football livestreams guide. Here's how to watch the Clemson vs. Georgia livestream from anywhere in the world — and potentially for free.

How to watch Clemson vs Georgia from anywhere

Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the game on your usual subscription? You can still tune in via a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN makes it appear like you're surfing the web from your home, allowing you to access the streaming services you already pay for. It's legal and easy to do.

We've tested many different VPN services and our favorite is NordVPN; it offers superb speeds, excellent customer service and a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it out first to see if it's right for you. But you've got other VPN options too, so check out our full list of the best VPN services.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view your usual U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list. 

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Sling and watch the Clemson vs. Georgia livestream.

In the U.S., the Clemson vs. Georgia livestream is on ABC, which is available over the air with one of the best TV antennas or with most cable TV packages.

If you've already cut the cord, consider watching the game on Sling TV or Fubo — two of the best streaming services for live TV.

The Sling Blue package starts at just $40 per month and comes with more than 40 channels, including ABC in select markets. For $80 per month, you can sign up for Fubo and its 121 channels, including ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, ESPN and more.

How to watch Clemson vs. Georgia livestreams for free

With one of our best TV antenna picks you can watch select college football live streams over the air for free. And since Clemson vs. Georgia is on ABC, you can watch it for free with an antenna.

Or, you could make your own stream, with a service such as Channel Master or Tablo, connected to your antenna and a DVR box. This allows you to broadcast the stream — either live or recorded — to a set-top box, mobile device or computer just about anywhere in the world. The cost of this method varies depending on the HD antenna you get and the service you use, but the local channels themselves are free.

UK fans can watch Georgia vs Clemson Sky Sports. The game will be accessible on Sky Sports + red button at 5pm.

Sky Glass is another option for watching NCAA and NFL football in the U.K. This service gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar without the need for a dish. Prices start at £14/month for the TV, plus a Sky subscription on top of that.

If you're currently an American in the U.K., and can't access Sky Sports, don't worry. You can use NordVPN to watch Clemson vs Georgia abroad.

In Australia, the Clemson vs Georgia livestream will be shown on Kayo Sports. Kayo Sports will give you ESPN coverage of both college football and NFL livestreams, with a few games on offer each week. Even though this game is on ABC in the U.S., Kayo Sports will have access through its ESPN deal.

Of course, if you're in Australia, you can always use NordVPN to watch your U.S. streaming services abroad.

If you're in Canada, Clemson vs Georgia will be on TSN1. TSN has a monopoly on college football so this is essentially your only option for watching games this season

Among the best streaming services we've tested, the only one that may offer games is Fubo, which has a pretty deep live sports selection and operates in Canada. Unfortunately, at this time we cannot confirm that Fubo will offer any college football livestreams in Canada like it does in the U.S.

Of course, if you're in Canada, you can always use NordVPN to watch your U.S. streaming services abroad.
