Northern Illinois Huskies — Horizon League. Tonight's channel below, plus the full 2026-27 schedule with the network for every game that has one.
Of Northern Illinois's 32 scheduled 2026-27 games, 15 have a channel so far: 1 needs a conference network, 13 stream only, never appearing in a channel guide at all and 1 is on another carrier. The other 17 games have 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: 13 games on ESPN+ are not on television. No cable package and no channel number will find them — they are streamed only.
All 32 games ESPN has scheduled so far — 12 home, 19 away, 1 at neutral sites. Channels are shown where a broadcast has been assigned as of 2026-11-12; the rest fill in through the season, and this table is rebuilt daily.
Northern Illinois games air on CBS Sports Network, all of which Fubo carries. The 13 games that stream on ESPN+ are not a TV channel at all — Fubo's plans include ESPN Unlimited, which covers the ESPN+ side of that.
Not on Fubo, or varies by market: YouTube (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.

ESPN currently lists 32 2026-27 games for Northern Illinois Huskies, opening against Grambling Tigers at a neutral site on Nov 2. 12 are at home, 19 on the road and 1 at neutral sites. The full schedule is on this page and is rebuilt daily as games are added.
Not so far. TNT Sports carries some regular-season college basketball and its share of March Madness alongside CBS, but none of Northern Illinois's games with a channel assigned is on TNT, TBS or truTV yet. Fubo carries CBS and none of the three Turner channels, so a Fubo plan reaches about half the bracket; YouTube TV carries all three. This page names the channel for every game as soon as it is assigned.
