ABC first began broadcasting regular season college football games in 1950, and has aired games of the now-National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) annually since 1966. After the ABC Sports division was merged into ESPN Inc. by parent company Disney in 2006, broadcasts have since been produced by ESPN, and have primarily used the ESPN College Football branding and presentation rather than College Football on ABC.

As of 2024, the network features games from The American, Atlantic Coast, Big 12, and Southeastern conferences. ABC's coverage consists of afternoon games, as well as primetime games under the Saturday Night Football banner.

Since the 2024 season, ABC's flagship broadcast is the SEC's top football package, which is branded on-air as the SEC on ABC with its own distinct on-air presentation; the SEC on ABC consists primarily of 3:30 p.m. ET games featuring SEC teams (succeeding the previous SEC on CBS), as well as selected Saturday Night Football telecasts.
