How to watch Purdue basketball without cable

Purdue games air on Big Ten Network, FOX, FS1, ESPN and others, all of which Fubo carries. The 7 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.
