Cal and Hawaii will be starting off the college football season on Friday night, but what time can you tune in?

It’s been a long wait since January, but finally here in the month of August we can get excited because college football season is back! College football is one of the more popular sports in the world, and it’s always an enjoyable moment when it comes back into our lives. Cal and Hawaii will be the ones on Friday night bringing that joy back.

Sure, some people see next weekend as the official start of the 2016 college football season, but the fact of the matter is that the Cal Golden Bears and Hawaii Rainbow Warriors are playing a meaningful game on Thursday night. And not only are they playing a meaningful game, but they’re playing one overseas in Australia.

With this taking place in Australia, some people might be confused as to what time the game will actually be starting. Of course, that’s the main issue for a lot of people here. With that being said, here is when and how you can watch Cal and Hawaii get the college football season started on Friday night.

Start Time: 10:00 p.m. ET

So, yeah, as you’d imagine, you do have to stay up a little bit later to take all of this in, but come on — it’s worth it! We’ve waited this long for college football to come back to us, so really, we’ll stay up until 5 a.m. ET if we have to to get our college football fix.
