[LIVE@CFP] Ohio State vs Alabama Live streams On Reddit|Watch College Football Final 2021 Live Anywhere
Only one game remains in the 2020 college football season: №1 Alabama vs. №3 Ohio State.
It’s only fitting that, in this upside season affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Rose Bowl champion Crimson Tide and Sugar Bowl champion Buckeyes should meet in Miami to decides the sport’s national champion. Apart from the peculiarities of Monday’s meeting, however, there are plenty of storylines to watch in the final game of the year.
First and foremost is the reported COVID-19 outbreak in Ohio State’s locker room. The Buckeyes were already without 16 players in their Sugar Bowl romp over the Tigers, but it’s uncertain how many — if any — players must miss the game against Alabama. That’s assuming, of course, the game isn’t postponed to a later date.

Alabama faces Ohio State in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game from Hard Rock Stadium in South Florida.
This should be the game of the year, with Alabama currently the betting favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook. While Ohio State has COVID-19 issues that might delay the start of the contest, they also showed during a dominant Sugar Bowl performance how deadly they can be.
You can watch Alabama face Ohio State in the 2021 College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday, January 11th at 8:00 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Alabama, meanwhile, stomped Notre Dame 31–14 in the Rose Bowl as Heisman Trophy winner DeVonta Smith caught three of Mac Jones’ four touchdown passes.
The programs last met in a semifinal of the 2014 season’s CFP when Ohio State clipped Alabama 42–35.
№1 Alabama (12–0, 11–0 SEC) beat Notre Dame 31–14 in the Rose Bowl CFP semifinal in Arlington, Texas. They boast one of the best offenses in the modern era of Crimson Tide football, including Heisman Trophy-winning receiver DeVonta Smith and finalist quarterback Mac Jones.
№3 Ohio State (7–0, 6–0 Big Ten) beat Clemson 49–28 in the Sugar Bowl. Quarterback Justin Fields was injured in the Sugar Bowl but expects to play for the title.
Otherwise, it seems as if the big question regarding Monday’s national title game is which of the two offenses can outperform the other. Justin Fields is sporting what appears to be bruised ribs, at least, from a targeting hit by Clemson linebacker James Skalski. The advent of Trey Sermon, who has a combined 589 yards from scrimmage in his last two outings, certainly helps the Buckeyes’ title game hopes.

Then there’s Alabama, whose offense features a potent triumvirate of quarterback Mac Jones, receiver DeVonta Smith and running back Najee Harris. That combo is fearsome enough as is, but there are rumors receiver Jaylen Waddle, who broke his ankle in the Tennessee game, can return to play as well.
With that, here’s everything you need to watch Alabama vs. Ohio State in the College Football Playoff championship game, including TV channel, kickoff time, location, and updated betting odds.
