ABC College Football is the de facto title used for broadcasts of NCAAcollege football games produced by ABC Sports and ESPN for ABC and ESPN DTC.

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 been billed as part of ESPN College Football.

Since the 2024 season, ABC has primarily broadcast Southeastern Conference (SEC) games, billed as the SEC on ABC, succeeding the conference's long-time relationship with CBS. ABC also carries games from other conferences such as the American, Atlantic Coast, and Big 12, billed as ABC College Football. ABC typically broadcasts three Saturday games per-week, including afternoon games at 12:00 p.m (currently billed as ABC College Football/SEC on ABC presented by Starbucks for sponsorship reasons) and 3:30 p.m. ET (SEC on ABC presented by Burger King), and Saturday Night Football in prime time. ABC also carries selected conference championships, bowl games, and College Football Playoff games.
