Saturday Night Football

Saturday Night Football (currently branded as ABCSaturday Night Football presented by Capital One for sponsorship reasons) is an American weekly presentation of prime time broadcasts of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) college football games that are produced by ESPN and televised on ABC. Games are presented each Saturday evening starting at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time/6:30 p.m. Central Time during the college football regular season, which has been the case since 2017 (some weeks until 2015 saw no game on ABC, due to Saturday evening Sprint Cup SeriesNASCARcoverage or to avoid competition with the World Series; ESPN would then carry that week's high-profile game instead, with ESPN2 carrying a secondary game usually seen on ESPN/ABC). Saturday Night Football began in 2006 as both ESPN and ABC are owned by The Walt Disney Company. It is typically ESPN's biggest game of the week and in most cases (outside where other networks carry the game), the city and/or campus of that night's game will host College GameDay.

As of 2026, the primary broadcast team for the majority of the games includes play-by-play announcerChris Fowler and analyst Kirk Herbstreit with Holly Rowe and Laura Rutledge as sideline reporters. Kevin Negandhi and Booger McFarland host the halftime show with Jordan Rodgers joining them in the studio. Negandhi also provides in game updates throughout the game. Other ESPN broadcast teams may also occasionally appear for regional (and some national) telecasts.
