Watch Sugar Bowl live streams on Thursday, as the No.7-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish ride an 11-game winning streak into the CFP quarter-final, where they face the No.2-seeded Georgia Bulldogs. Below, we have all the info on how to watch Sugar Bowl 2025 from anywhere in the world, with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, and live streams.
The game was originally scheduled to take place on Wednesday, January 1, but has been pushed back 24 hours in the wake of the tragic truck attack on Bourbon Street.
Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck sustained an injury to his throwing elbow in the SEC Championship Game in early December, so his backup Gunner Stockton will likely end up taking the reins at Caesars Superdome. While Stockton brought that victory home, the caliber of the Fighting Irish’s secondary means that running the ball will be Georgia’s safest bet.
Notre Dame’s defense is one of the most dominant in college football, and the team as a whole is firing on all cylinders. Dual-threat quarterback Riley Leonard will want to put on a show, regardless of Beck’s status, though there’s a reason Georgia entered the season ranked ranked No.1. They’ve won four straight playoff games, the last two by record margins.
Here’s where to watch Sugar Bowl 2025 live streams online and catch the college football 2024 action from anywhere.
