The college football season kicks off with Week 0 today, featuring a notable matchup between Iowa State and Kansas State in Dublin, Ireland. This opening weekend presents several promotional offers for sports bettors looking to engage with the games.

DraftKings is offering a promotion where new users can bet just $5 on any Week 0 college football game to unlock $200 in bonus bets. Additionally, users can receive over $200 off the NFL Sunday Ticket for the 2025 season. This offer is particularly appealing for fans eager to place bets on Saturday's games. The $200 in bonus bets can be used on various Week 0 matchups, while the Sunday Ticket discount allows fans to enjoy NFL action throughout the season.

In addition to the welcome bonus, DraftKings has several in-app options available this weekend, including a No-Sweat Bet for Week 0 and profit boosts for the Kansas State-Iowa State game, as well as Same Game Parlay (SGP) offers across PGA, MLB, and WNBA games.

The Iowa State vs. Kansas State game is significant, as it could impact the Big 12 standings later in the season. Other games available for betting this weekend include Idaho State vs. UNLV, Fresno State vs. Kansas, Sam Houston vs. Western Kentucky, and Stanford vs. Hawai'i. To unlock the rewards, users need to place a $5 bet, regardless of the outcome. Once the bet is placed, the $200 in bonus bets and the NFL Sunday Ticket discount will be available immediately.

BetMGM is also offering promotions for the college football season. New users can sign up and receive either a $150 bonus or a $1,500 first bet for the Iowa State vs. Kansas State game and other Week 0 contests. The specific offer depends on the user's location. Most users will receive the $1,500 first bet safety net, which allows them to bet up to that amount on any market and receive their stake back as a bonus if the bet loses. Users in select states can opt for the $150 bonus, which requires a winning $10 bet.
