CBS toasts âSEC on CBSâ with video montage of greatest moments on eve of final broadcast
The “SEC on CBS” will broadcast one final time on Saturday, Dec. 2, when No. 1 Georgia faces No. 8 Alabama in the SEC Championship Game. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (7-day free trial plus $20 off the first two months), Directvstream (free trial) and Paramount+ (free trial).

On Friday, CBS paid tribute to the more than two-decade long coverage of the SEC with a 6-minute montage of most memorable moments, plays and players.
Back in 2020, the SEC agreed to a 10-year, multimillion-dollar contract with ESPN and ABC that begins with the 2024 football season.
ESPN and ABC have rights to broadcast the league’s 15 best football matchups as well as eight marquee basketball games. ABC also has rights to the SEC Championship Game, which it will air in its traditional late-afternoon slot. The network has already started broadcasting one nonconference football matchup on ESPN+ with each team.
