How to watch for free
Each game above names its channel. Find that channel below.
FOX, CBS, NBC or ABC
These are free, over-the-air channels. A TV with an indoor antenna, sold at stores like Walmart or Best Buy, picks them up without cable or an internet login. The FCC's reception map shows which stations reach a given address. To stream instead, FOX games are on FOX One, CBS games are on Paramount+, and NBC games are on Peacock. All three charge a monthly fee, and FOX advertises a 7-day free trial for FOX One.
Big Ten Network (BTN) or FS1
These are cable channels, so an antenna will not get them. To watch one game free, start a free trial of a live-TV streaming service that carries BTN, such as YouTube TV, Fubo or Hulu + Live TV, and cancel before the trial ends. Trial lengths change through the year, from about 5 to 21 days, so the sign-up page shows the current offer. FOX also says its FOX One app streams BTN games. If you already pay for cable, sign in to the FOX Sports app with that cable login at no extra cost.
B1G+
B1G+ is the Big Ten's own paid streaming service. It carries the volleyball matches that are not on TV, and it has no free option. For those matches, the free choice is the radio call below.
Free on the radio: the Husker Radio Network
Football and volleyball games are carried on the Husker Radio Network, which is free on any radio within reach of one of its stations. Nebraska lists those stations on huskers.com/listen, and says every broadcast is also streamed nationwide on huskers.com and in the Huskers app; that page shows no price or sign-up. Each game's "Listen" button above goes straight there.
