Will the Rose Bowl be on ABC? Ohio State vs Oregon streaming details, channel info, and more

The Rose Bowl encounter on New Year's Day between Oregon and Ohio State will be carried by ESPN, and it will not be shown on simulcast with ABC as other games have.

There might be some confusion, as games on ABC are usually transmitted under the ESPN on ABC brand, and they are delivered by ESPN's announcers. ABC games also tend to show on simulcast on ESPN and are always available for streaming on ESPN+.

The announcing crew for the Rose Bowl will be Chris Fowler as the play-by-play and Kirk Herbstreit as the analyst/color commentator. The game is set to start at 5:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday. The encounter, as always, will be played at the famous Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena, California.
