Alright, so, today I really wanted to catch the IU football game. I’m a huge fan, and missing a game just isn’t an option. But, with all the different channels and streaming stuff, it gets confusing sometimes, right? So, I started by figuring out who they were playing against – turned out to be Maryland. Cool, a good matchup.
First things first, I checked the IU Athletics website. It’s usually pretty reliable for this kind of info. But sometimes, it doesn’t have the most up-to-date stuff, especially when it comes to broadcast details. So, I moved on to the next step.

I fired up my go-to TV listings website. You know, the ones that show you what’s playing on every channel? Found the game! It was on BTN – that’s the Big Ten Network, for those who don’t know. Made a mental note of the kickoff time, which was scheduled for 9 a.m. PT or 12 p.m. ET on Saturday, September 28. Perfect!
Now, I usually watch on cable, but just for kicks, I looked into streaming options. Turns out, Fubo had a free trial going on, and they carry BTN. That’s good to know in case I ever cut the cord. After all, It’s always good to have a backup plan.
Here’s the gist of what I found:
- Opponent: Maryland
- Channel: BTN (Big Ten Network)
- Date: Saturday, September 28
- Kickoff Time: 9 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. CT
- Streaming: Fubo (They have a free trial, sweet!)
My Steps:
- Checked the IU Athletics website (Always a good starting point).
- Used a TV listings website to confirm the channel and time.
- Explored streaming options and found Fubo had BTN and a free trial.
So yeah, that’s how I made sure I wouldn’t miss the IU game. It’s a bit of a process, but hey, for football, it’s totally worth it! Now just to wait for game time!
