Northwestern Wildcats — Big Ten Conference. Tonight's channel below, plus the full 2026-27 schedule with the network for every game that has one.
Of Northwestern's 32 scheduled 2026-27 games, 32 have a channel so far: 2 games air on broadcast TV, 3 are on the ESPN channels, 18 need a conference network and 9 stream only, never appearing in a channel guide at all. Every game on the schedule has a channel.
The part that catches people out: 9 games on Peacock / B1G+ 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 — 18 home, 10 away, 4 at neutral sites. Channels are shown where a broadcast has been assigned as of 2026-10-15; the rest fill in through the season, and this table is rebuilt daily.
Northwestern games air on Big Ten Network, FS1, ESPN2, FOX and others, all of which Fubo carries. The 9 games that stream on Peacock / B1G+ are not a TV channel at all.

ESPN currently lists 32 2026-27 games for Northwestern Wildcats, opening at home against Binghamton Bearcats on Nov 2. 18 are at home, 10 on the road and 4 at neutral sites. The full schedule is on this page and is rebuilt daily as games are added.
Only in the NCAA tournament. The regular season runs on the ESPN channels, the conference networks, CBS, FOX and the conference streaming tiers; TNT, TBS and truTV carry their share of March Madness alongside CBS. Fubo carries CBS and none of the three Turner channels, so a live-TV plan reaches about half the bracket. This page says which it is for each game as soon as the network is assigned.
