To get access to the Big Ten Network (BTN), there are multiple options:
- Subscribe to Big Ten Network through a cable or satellite TV provider that carries BTN, such as DIRECTV, DISH, Comcast Xfinity, Spectrum, Verizon Fios, Mediacom, and more. You will need their subscription package that includes BTN in the channel lineup. You can check your provider's BTN channel number on BTN's channel finder online.
- Stream Big Ten Network live via streaming services that offer BTN in their packages without cable. Top streaming options include DirecTV Stream, Sling, Fubo, Hulu Live TV, and YouTube TV. These services require a monthly subscription, often starting around $45-$85 depending on the service and plan.
- Subscribe directly to Big Ten Plus (B1G+), which is the streaming service for Big Ten Conference sports events not broadcast on BTN TV. You can subscribe monthly or yearly on bigtenplus.com or through apps on platforms like Apple iTunes or Google Play. B1G+ costs around $12.99/month or $89.99/year and offers access to exclusive live Big Ten sports and on-demand replays.
- Access BTN content on the FOX Sports app if you log in with your pay TV provider credentials.
In summary, the easiest ways are either via your cable/satellite TV provider, a live TV streaming service that includes BTN, or by subscribing to Big Ten Plus for additional streaming content beyond what BTN broadcasts on TV.
