College football’s oldest Power 5 conference has plenty of streaming services for fans to watch their favorite programs, from Ohio State at Minnesota on Sept. 2 to the Big Ten Championship game on Dec. 4.
The conference may have its share of intrigue this year, especially around Ohio State given the Buckeyes will be starting a freshman under center in CJ Stroud.
The inexperience at that position could be just enough for the likes of schools like Penn State, Wisconsin or Iowa to eke their way up the conference standings, maybe pull off an upset and surprise for a Big Ten title berth along the way. The Nittany Lions are one of the hottest teams in football having won their last four in a row to end the season after starting 0-5 while Minnesota returns one of the nation’s top running backs in Mohamed Ibrahim and all eyes will likely descend on Ann Arbor and Lincoln to see just how long Jim Harbaugh and Scott Frost stick around at Michigan and Nebraska, respectively.
Sporting News has you covered on how to watch all those games and keep up with all those storylines, all without the need for a cable subscription:
