The Ohio State vs. Michigan rivalry leads the Big Ten action this week

It is now Rivalry Week across college football, and we as fans have a better idea as to what teams are contenders and which ones are pretenders. So, if you are just now dialing into the season, we will run through the details you need to stream all of the Big Ten Conference action, whether you are looking to just watch one game, just this weekend, or the rest of the season.
How to stream Big Ten football
Best streamer to watch all Big Ten games
If you are looking for a way to watch every single Big Ten game, or any college football game for that matter, then we would recommend DIRECTV. The streamer offers the live TV streaming industry’s longest, consistent free trial at five days. While other platforms sometimes promise one or two weeks for free, it is rarely ever available to all customers, and you can’t always find out your trial length until you complete the subscription process.
Since the Big Ten’s media rights are split between Fox, CBS, and NBC, DIRECTV is the most cost-efficient streamer that carries all of the channels you need to make sure you don’t miss a game. So when you can get five days for free, that is very attractive.
However, if you like what you see from DIRECTV during your five-day trial, then it might be worth sticking with it long-term, especially as a sports fan. Earlier this year, the streamer introduced focused channel packages called Genre Packs, including the MySports pack.
This subscription option only includes sports-focused channels and comes in at a competitive $70 per month. Included in the pack are ACC Network, Big Ten Network, ESPN2, ESPNEWS, ESPNU, FS1, FS2, Golf Channel, MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network, NHL Network, TBS, TNT, truTV, and USA Network. In addition, ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC are available in nearly every market across the country, but double-check availability in your area before subscribing.
Another bonus that makes the MySports package attractive is the fact that you will also get free access to the ESPN Unlimited streaming service that includes every ESPN channel, everything from ESPN+, as well as streaming exclusives.
DIRECTV
DIRECTV is one of The Streamable’s top choices for the best live TV streaming service overall in 2026, especially for users who want the most channels or want to watch the most live sports. With an unbeatable lineup of local, news, sports, and entertainment channels, three main signature packages, an unlimited DVR, and 20 simultaneous streams at home, DIRECTV remains a premier choice for any cord-cutter.

In addition to all of the broadcast and cable channels that carry Big Ten games, the conference also broadcasts a handful of streaming-exclusive contests on NBCUniversal’s platform Peacock. So, if you want to make sure that you are able to catch every game of the season, you will need access to this streamer as well. To catch the college football, you will need to sign up for one of Peacock’s Premium tiers, starting at $11 per month. Fox has also launched its own streaming service, Fox One. So there is another way to stream Big 12 games on Fox channels as well.
Peacock
Peacock is a subscription video streaming service from NBCUniversal that includes original shows, blockbuster movies, and classic television series. Peacock is home to “Yellowstone,” “The Office,” and original hits like “Poker Face” and “Bel-Air.” You can also watch live sports and NBC programming, including the NFL, MLB, WWE, the Olympics, the Premier League, NASCAR, the French Open, college football and basketball, and the PGA Tour. Premium Plus subscribers can stream their local NBC feed in all 210 markets.
