ESPN Radio College Gameday is a day-long talk radio show on ESPN Radio covering the day's college football games. It is heard every Saturday during the season from noon until 7 p.m. ET. Some programs originate from the ESPN studios in Bristol, Connecticut; others are on location from game sites, just like College GameDay on television. The on-location shows are called College GameDay Road Tour.

The show, which began in 2000, is hosted by Scott Reiss, of ESPN and SportsCenter, and analysts Todd McShay, from Scouts, Inc., and Trevor Matich, former NFL player. A regular guest is Mel Kiper Jr. From 2000 to 2007, Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit hosted a separate version that aired on Friday nights.

Students and fans are welcomed and encouraged to stop by and watch the games on several high-definition monitors, and possibly take home a T-shirt or mini-football which are be distributed to the crowd.

Beginning in 2006, this show offered a new segment, in which a fan conducts inspections of tailgate sites near the broadcast location. This segment airs only when the show is on the road.
