Penn State vs. Boise State Fiesta Bowl livestream: How to watch College Football Playoff quarterfinal game online from anywhere

This Penn State vs. Boise State Fiesta Bowl livestream kicks off the quarterfinal round of the 2024 college football playoff season — and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free!

New Year’s Eve is almost upon us, and with it comes the first quarterfinal game of the 2024 College Football Playoffs. This year’s Fiesta Bowl features the Mountain West Conference champion Boise State Broncos hosting the Penn State Nittany Lions at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

Despite losing to Oregon in the Big Ten Championship game, Penn State earned a berth in the College Football Playoffs and has made the most of it. The 12-2 Nittany Lions managed to win in convincing fashion, notching a 38-10 victory over No. 11-seeded SMU in the first round. If the Nittany Lions have any hope of getting closer to at winning their third national championship, quarterback Drew Allar will need to continue his elevated play. They will also need to lean on running back Nicholas Singleton, who is averaging 6.4 yards per carry this season, for a shot at knocking out the Broncos in Glendale this New Year's Eve.

On the other side of the ball, the Boise State Broncos are primed to continue their march to post-season glory. They earned a first-round bye in this year's College Football Playoffs on the back of Heisman finalist running back Austin Jeanty. He rushed for 2,497 yards in 2024, the fourth-most in college football history. Jeanty has been an elite-level player for Boise State this season, but can he lead them to victory over a tenacious Nittany Lions squad? Tune into this Fiesta Bowl College Football Playoff quarterfinal livestream to find out.
