Use free trials to stream the national championship game
Many streaming services offer you a chance to try their platform for free to see if it's to your liking. YouTube TV is among the best streaming platforms for sports fans.

It's akin to bringing the sports bar experience to your living room. Best of all, if you're new, you can try the service for free for 10 days.
Another option is Hulu + Live TV. Similar to YouTube TV, Hulu's live TV platform offers local channels like CBS, so you can stream the national championship game for free.
And if you're new, you can try it free for three days:
