How to Watch NCAAF Games Tonight – Friday, September 25
With kickoffs stretching from 4:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. ET, tonight's five-game slate spans three networks, with ESPN carrying three of the FBS matchups — Army-Temple, Navy-UAB, and Clemson-California.

The two latest kickoffs headline the night. At 8:00 p.m. on FOX, No. 5 Indiana hosts Northwestern in the Hoosiers' Big Ten opener, with Indiana favored by 21.5 points as a 3-0 team facing a Northwestern squad that has struggled to sustain drives on offense.
Then, in the true nightcap, Clemson travels to Berkeley for a 10:30 p.m. ET tip on ESPN — the Tigers' first trip to the West Coast since the ACC's westward expansion, as Clemson looks to right the ship in conference play after a rocky start to its season
