Watch USC vs. Penn State Tonight – Free Streaming Guide

Tonight’s Big Ten showdown pits the USC Trojans (5‑1) against a struggling Penn State squad (3‑2). Kick‑off is slated for 6:30 p.m. Central Time on NBC, so if you’re anywhere in the country you’ve got a clear window to tune in.

Want to watch without pulling out a credit‑card? Both DIRECTV and FuboTV are still offering five‑day free trials that include the NBC channel, which carries the game. Sign up, fire up the app on your phone, tablet, smart TV or laptop, and you’ll be set – just remember to cancel before the trial ends if you don’t want to be billed.

Here’s the quick rundown:

• DIRECTV – Free trial available, NBC included, monthly cost after trial $94.99.
• FuboTV – Also offers a free trial, NBC included, monthly price after trial $88.99.

USC’s offense leans heavily on quarterback Jayden Maiava, who’s already racked up 15 touchdowns and more than 1,700 passing yards this season – the second‑most yards in the nation. He’ll need to keep that momentum going if the Trojans want to stay in the hunt for the Big Ten title.

Across the field, Penn State will be looking to a transfer QB, Rocco Becht, who’s tossed ten touchdowns and piled up over 1,100 yards. The Nittany Lions have dropped two straight, so a win tonight could be the spark they need.

Bottom line: Grab a free trial, sit back, and enjoy a high‑stakes college football matchup without paying a dime. And if you love the game, consider sticking around for the rest of the season – both services keep NBC in their line‑ups after the trial period.
