Nebraska Basketball: What Channel Is the Game On?

Where Nebraska games air in 2026-27

Of Nebraska's 32 scheduled 2026-27 games, 31 have a channel so far: 4 games air on broadcast TV, 1 is on the ESPN channels, 19 need a conference network, 1 is on TNT, TBS or truTV and 6 stream only, never appearing in a channel guide at all. The other 1 game has no channel yet — college basketball windows are assigned by the conferences and networks through the season, and this page updates daily as they land.

The part that catches people out: 6 games on Peacock / B1G+ are not on television. No cable package and no channel number will find them — they are streamed only.

How to watch Nebraska basketball without cable

Nebraska games air on Big Ten Network, FS1, FOX, ESPNU and others, all of which Fubo carries. The 6 games that stream on Peacock / B1G+ are not a TV channel at all. The game on TNT, TBS or truTV is the exception: Fubo does not carry those channels, and YouTube TV carries all three.

Not on Fubo, or varies by market: TNT (1 game). We won't tell you a plan covers a channel when it doesn't, and local broadcast availability depends on your ZIP, which Fubo confirms at signup.
