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 graphics instead of the College Football on ABC branding.
As of 2024[update], the network features games from The American, Atlantic Coast, Big 12, and Southeastern conferences.
In addition, ESPN also produces a separate prime time regular-season game package for ABC, under the umbrella brand Saturday Night Football.
