ESPN College Gameday

What is College GameDay Built by The Home Depot?

ESPN's College GameDay Built by The Home Depot is college football's premier pre-game show. The show travels to a different college campus or game site each week of the season from late August/early September through the College Football Playoff National Championship in January. The locations - usually announced a week in advance - are chosen by ESPN based on competitive matchups, rivalries and other factors.

How can I watch the live broadcast?

College GameDay airs at 9 AM ET - Noon ET on ESPN and ESPNU throughout the football season and is available for streaming through the ESPN App. ESPN's social and digital pre-pre-game show Countdown to College GameDay begins at 8:30 AM ET weekly and is available to watch on a number of social and streaming platforms, including the ESPN App.

How do I get selected to stand in the pit during the live broadcast?

Students and fans have the opportunity for up-close view of the show by standing in the pit immediately adjacent to the stage. Selection is on a first-come, first-serve basis for all fans. Students admitted to the pit are encouraged to wear school colors and should have a numbered wristband. Participants are subject to ESPN security procedures and policies.
