Big Ten Plus, now commonly called B1G+, is a separate streaming service that hosts Big Ten Conference events not carried on traditional TV. Access typically involves creating a B1G+ account and choosing a subscription plan, with several pricing options and device apps available. What to know and how to get it
- What it is: B1G+ streams non-televised Big Ten events and provides on-demand replays in addition to live coverage. It’s offered as a standalone streaming option and can be bundled through some platforms depending on your region and provider.
- Where to watch: You can access B1G+ via its official website (bigtenplus.com) and through native apps on supported devices (Android, iOS, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Xbox, etc.).
- How much it costs: B1G+ typically offers monthly and annual pricing. A common monthly price is around $12.99, with annual options available that reduce the per-month cost when paid upfront; exact prices can vary by region and promotions. Some schools, teams, or promotions may also provide free or discounted access under specific conditions.
- How to subscribe:
- Sign up on the official site or app.
- Choose a subscription plan (monthly or yearly, or sport-specific options may exist in some contexts).
- Enter payment details and confirm activation; you can usually start streaming immediately after purchase.
- How to watch for free or reduced-cost options:
- Some universities offer on-campus or partner-program access to B1G+ for students, faculty, or staff via institutional VPNs or on-campus networks. Availability and eligibility vary by institution. If eligible, you may see a “On-Campus Access” prompt or similar when attempting to view content.
* Some cable or streaming bundles include B1G+ access or provide single-event access through promo codes; check with your provider or the Big Ten network partner in your area.
Tips to ensure smooth access
- Check device compatibility: Ensure the device or app you plan to use is supported by B1G+ (the official site and app stores list compatible platforms).
- Verify regional availability: Availability and pricing can differ by country or region; confirm that B1G+ operates in your location and whether any regional restrictions apply.
- Look for promotions: Prices and bundles change, especially around sports seasons or conference tournaments. Check the official site for current offers.
