When the University of Oregon Ducks have an away game, or when you don't have tickets to Autzen Stadium but still want to cheer on the team during a home game — catch the spirit at one of these popular and fun places for watching the Duck game in Eugene-Springfield. Across the country, you can also connect with other Oregon fans at alumni-organized watch parties.

Best Bets For Watching the Football Game

Oregon is in the Big Ten! If you are unable to access the Big Ten Network because it is not available on Comcast Xfinity, you can stream the game with a subscription to a service like Peacock, Hulu or YouTubeTV and more. Games may also be available through ESPN, ABC, FOX, CBS or NBC. The Register-Guard has more information on the variety of programs and services that may carry the Duck games. Games are also broadcast on the Oregon Sports Network (radio) and you can also download the game app on your phone for all the latest buzz, social streaming and live audio broadcasting on game day.

Another option is to hang out with other fans at a local pub or a sports bar that has the game on! Please verify directly with the sports bar to confirm their access to the game before making your plans. Some suggestions are listed below, but some may not be able to show every game.
