The Unofficial NCAA Football Streaming Guide

Although the Wisconsin Badgers football team has struggled in recent years, they remain an exciting team with a large fan base. I have all the details below for watching them all season long.

In a hurry? If you just want to start watching the Badgers, these streaming services provide the channels you need:

• Fubo: Get 150+ total channels that include 50+ sports ones. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.
• DIRECTV: This full-cable replacement service makes it easy to cut the cord with everything you want. A 5-day free trial is now available for DIRECTV.
• Hulu + Live TV: Get 95+ channels in addition to the Hulu on-demand library, ESPN+, and Disney+. Try the Hulu Live free 3-day trial.

The Badgers are the pride of Wisconsin, but if you live in or are from Wisconsin, of course, you already know that. Perhaps you even start humming, “On, Wisconsin.” the school’s fight song that dates to the Civil War, without realizing it.

Regardless of whether you are a devoted fan looking to watch all of the school’s games or just want to check out its biggest ones, I will show you how you can do so without cable.

This Week’s Wisconsin Badgers Football Game

Wisconsin Channels

All home games and Big Ten away contests are under the same broadcasting umbrella. As a result, the vast majority of Wisconsin games will air on Fox, Fox Sports 1 (FS1), CBS, NBC/Peacock, and the Big Ten Network (BTN).

During the 2024 season, the Badgers aired on the following channels:

Due to changing broadcasting rights last year, ABC and ESPN are no longer options except for non-conference games that are played away from Madison.

Head coach Luke Fickell is in his second full season in charge of the program, so he has not yet had much time to get acclimated to his role. However, one strong sign of a solid second campaign is that his first two years at Cincinnati, his most recent stop, resulted in a 4-8 season being followed by an 11-2 season and a total of five straight years of 9+ wins before he moved to Madison.

Rivalry With Minnesota

Wisconsin’s biggest rivalry is with Minnesota. Although the Badgers have generally dominated this as of late, going 16-3 in their last 19 meetings, two of those defeats came in 2021 and 2022. But the Badgers won last year with a final score of 28-14.

This is the FBS’s most-played rivalry; their meeting in 2024 will be their 134th. They enter the campaign with an almost even rivalry with 63 wins for Wisconsin and 62 wins for Minnesota. There were eight ties recorded in the pre-overtime days.

Fourth-Oldest Stadium

Wisconsin’s Camp Randall Stadium, which was built in 1917, is the oldest in the Big Ten and the fourth-oldest across all of the FBS. It has a capacity of 76,118, and home attendances are always at or near that number. Perhaps its best-known tradition is “Jump Around,” during which fans, well, jump around prior to the start of the fourth quarter.

Other Wisconsin Sports

Wisconsin fans also come out in high numbers to support other UW sports teams. Its men’s basketball squad, which plays in the 17,287-capacity Kohl Center, is particularly popular. Also playing at the facility are the school’s women’s basketball and men’s ice hockey teams. Meanwhile, its powerhouse women’s ice hockey team plays at 2,273-capacity LaBahn Arena, which was specially built for it.

In fact, ice hockey is quite popular at Wisconsin, and the school has won 13 national championships in that sport, six by the men’s squad and seven by the women’s, including in 2023.

Other NCAA titles of note were claimed by the men’s basketball (1941), men’s soccer (1995), and women’s volleyball (2021) programs.
