Kansas State football faltered last year after winning seven of its first eight games. Maybe that’s why ESPN is projecting the Wildcats as the potential favorites to finish atop the Big 12 in 2025.
K-State will have to do it in a loaded conference that also includes Iowa State and Arizona State, the lone Big 12 school to make the expanded College Football Playoff in 2024. But behind versatile and still-improving quarterback Avery Johnson and all its returning production, there’s no reason to think K-State can’t make a serious run for the conference title.
I know you’re wild for the Wildcats. That’s why I’ve put together this comprehensive guide to watch them on TV and streaming all season long.

Best TV plans for watching Kansas State football
Data effective as of post date. Offers and availability may vary by location and are subject to change.
For die-hard Kansas State Wildcats football fans, ensuring you never miss a game is a top priority. Hulu + Live TV is my favorite choice for watching the most college football action because of its comprehensive channel lineup. It also includes worthy perks like ESPN+ at no extra charge and unlimited DVR storage.
While Hulu + Live TV offers extensive college sports, it doesn’t feature every football matchup, particularly those involving lower-level teams. Some games may require access to a regional sports network or a separate streaming subscription.
