College football on the Wish

If it is available, they’ll show the game in Keg and Compass. That bar has multiple big screens showing sports.

without going into technical stuff .... satellite TV is not as ubiquitous as you might think ... satellite service at your home is VERY different from the service available at sea. Or in other words ..... what you watch on the ship is NOT Direct-TV ........ We cruised a lil while back during college playoffs. One game was on ship TV .. but several were being played .... and soon groups gathered as folks set up enclaves to watch their particular game of interest using a laptop and someone who'd paid for the most expensive internet package (supported streaming). We watched an Alabama game with 30 others on a laptop and a bluetooth speaker .....

I just looked at my Dish Network Channel Guide, right now there are 20 College Football Games being broadcast. Not sure what Disney has access to, and how much capacity they have to show games. I would guess a big game nationally would be a likely choice, but if you are a fan of some less popular game, they may not choice to broadcast it if available to them.

Curious if you were able to catch it?

Just got off the ship for what it's worth. They did show the OSU-ND game Saturday along with the normal ESPN/2 games. None were great and a mix of that and tennis.

They did not show FSU/LSU and had the Padres - Dodgers on

Along with the LSU-FSU game UGA-Oregon game was unavailable for viewing in any bar and we also could not get it on the TV in our stateroom. Our family watches a lot of SEC football, and we have enjoyed watching many games together on the other 4 ships. Not getting to watch opening weekend together was a bummer, as we expected the programming to be similar to what is shown on the other 4 ships

Disney will show what is on ESPN and ESPN2. Last week somehow they showed the ABC game (OSU/ND) but it came on an ESPN feed. They have ABC as a channel choice but in all of my cruises including 3 on the Wish there was never programming available

Disney owns ABC too.

Just got off the wish and they had college football on in keg and compass and they had Sunday night football on funnel vision on deck 11 but beware very spotty and kept going in and out every couple seconds especially last night for Sunday Night football.
