Most televised Eastern Illinois games stream on ESPN's direct-to-consumer service rather than a cable channel — that's why they're hard to find in a channel guide. Fubo's plans include ESPN Unlimited, which covers those.
Not on Fubo: Peacock (1 game). That's a separate subscription — we won't tell you Fubo covers it when it doesn't.
Varies by market: Midco Sports Net (1 game). Local channel availability depends on your ZIP, which Fubo confirms at signup.
