For the third straight Saturday, ESPN personality and Plum native Pat McAfee says he will livestream Week 12’s edition of ESPN “College GameDay” on his personal X account, @PatMcAfeeShow. He’s been offering the alternative feed for the past three weekends as Disney’s dispute with YouTube TV continues.
“College GameDay is broadcasting in Pittsburgh on Saturday before the Pitt-Notre Dame game.
“You know there is a dispute going on between two parties and there are a lot of people missing ball and missing things that they love, just know that on X tomorrow, GameDay will be live and for free (on my X/Twitter account),” McAfee announced Friday on his show The Pat McAfee Show, which is dual-streamed on both ESPN and YouTube.
YouTube TV subscribers discovered that Disney-owned channels — including ABC — have been removed from the platform amid the ongoing carriage dispute. Along with ABC affiliates and cable networks such as ESPN, Freeform and Nat Geo, several non-Disney stations, including WTAE, were also dropped.

The No. 22 Panthers (7-2, 5-1 ACC) and No. 9 Fighting Irish (7-2), whose highly anticipated matchup will kick off at noon, were ranked in the latest College Football Playoff release this week. Both teams are riding lengthy winning streaks into Saturday’s showdown.

Pitt has appeared on “College GameDay” four times. That includes Sept. 1, 2022, a Thursday season-opener and the first installment of the Backyard Brawl since 2011.
The Panthers beat West Virginia, 38-31, that night.
But Pitt hasn’t hosted a weekend game at home for “College GameDay” in decades — since Sept. 3, 2005.
