From Emmy bait to football fate, tonight’s lineup is stacked — and we’re here to break it down.


🏈 All Hail College Football Saturday (12:00 PM ET – Late Night)

Clear your calendar, cancel brunch, and maybe reschedule your wedding — because College Football owns your Saturday.


  • ABC is going full beast mode with a triple-header:

    • Wisconsin vs. Alabama (12 PM) — Big Ten meets the SEC in a “who's-your-daddy” opener.

    • Georgia vs. Tennessee (3:30 PM) — Bulldogs vs. Volunteers? More like bulldozers vs. hope.

    • Florida vs. LSU (7:30 PM) — Swamp vs. Bayou. Gators bite, Tigers roar — who’s hungrier?

  • CBS / Paramount+ gives us USC vs. Purdue (3:30 PM) — Spoiler alert: Purdue tries.

  • The CW — yes, The CW — serves South Florida vs. Miami (4:30 PM). Think of it as Florida’s family reunion, but with more concussions.

  • ESPN is your all-day sports bar:

    • Clemson vs. Georgia Tech (12 PM) — Tigers on the prowl.

    • Pittsburgh vs. West Virginia (3:30 PM) — Backyard Brawl is back and petty as ever.

    • Arkansas vs. Ole Miss (7 PM) — Just some good old-fashioned SEC chaos.

    • Minnesota vs. California (10:30 PM) — Aka, the Insomniac Bowl.

  • FOX brings the Pacific heat:

    • Oregon vs. Northwestern (12 PM) — Ducks vs. Brains.

    • Oregon State vs. Texas Tech (3:30 PM) — Expect touchdowns and zero defense.

  • Peacock peacocks with:

    • Towson vs. Maryland (12 PM) — A DMV grudge match, if you squint.

    • Ohio vs. Ohio State (7 PM) — The Buckeye beatdown is imminent.

    • Texas A&M vs. Notre Dame (7:30 PM) — Also airing on NBC if you prefer it the old-school way.

  • TNT/truTV/HBO Max — yes, your streaming login will be working overtime — wraps it up with Texas State vs. Arizona State (10:30 PM). This one’s for the diehards... or the insomniacs.


🎶 Midday Miracle: Grace for the World (3:00 PM ET, Disney+ / Hulu / ABC News Live)

Pharrell, Bocelli, Karol G, John Legend, Jennifer Hudson and more turn Vatican City into the most soulful place on Earth. It's the Holyoke Festival, basically — in 4K.



🔥 Primetime Picks: Let’s Get Weird (8:00 PM ET)

  • OXYGEN Cold Justice is back for Season 8. Kelly and Steve dive into the case of a Navy vet found murdered in his lakeside home. It’s real, it's raw, and it’s murder with a side of small-town secrets.

  • FXX The Creative Arts Emmys air tonight, so prep your bingo card: which shows got snubbed, and which craftspeople finally got their moment? It’s the glam before the glam — the pre-Primetime Emmys show with fewer speeches but more artsy angst.

  • Great American Family Crossroad Springs continues its wholesome ranch shenanigans. This time, Willis is cagey about some ranch-expanding secret plot. Insert cowboy hat emoji here 🤠.

  • TBS Dinner and a Movie serves up Jurassic Park. Dinosaurs + dinner = the only time screaming during dessert is acceptable.

  • Lifetime PREMIERE ALERT: A Husband to Die For: The Lisa Aguilar Story — She survived 50 stab wounds, then found out her husband did it. This true-crime drama is exactly what your popcorn was made for.

  • HBO Warfare makes its premium cable debut. If you like Navy SEAL missions gone sideways, emotional trauma, and top-tier acting (Will Poulter and Joseph Quinn? Come on now), this is your gritty Saturday night pick.


🥊 The Main Event: Canelo vs. Crawford (9:00 PM ET, Netflix)

Yup, Netflix is airing live sports again, and this one’s a banger. Canelo Álvarez faces off against Terence Crawford in a fight that’s practically cinematic. Grab a drink, scream at your screen, and pretend you're in Vegas — minus the $19 cocktails.


🗞️ Bonus Round: News Gets Funny (9:00 PM ET, CNN)

Have I Got News for You brings E. Jean Carroll and Mae Martin to the panel for the UK-imported news quiz that makes current events feel less like a fever dream. Almost.


That’s Your Saturday, TV Fam!

Whether you're here for gridiron drama, true crime chills, holy harmonies, or Emmy-tinged shade, your remote's got a full workout ahead. Be sure to hydrate, snack up, and check back tomorrow for another TV Cave daily fix — where we watch so you don’t have to (but also, you totally should).
