The Great Illinois Hunting Quest: Finding Their Next Game on TV

| What Channel Is The Illinois Game On |
First, a Crucial Distinction:
Before we delve into the world of channel listings, a key question: are you seeking the Illini conquering the gridiron (football) or the hardwood (basketball)? Those sneaky athletes play two entirely different games on entirely different channels (and at entirely different times of year).
For Football Fans: Autumn is upon us soon, and with it comes the return of college football! The Big Ten Network is your prime destination for most Illinois football games. However, some high-profile matchups might be broadcast on national networks like FOX, ESPN, or even ABC.
For Basketball Buffs: March Madness may be a distant memory (Illinois had a heck of a run, by the way!), but basketball season will be back before you know it. Tune into the Big Ten Network for most Illini hoops games, but again, marquee matchups might find themselves on CBS, TBS, or TNT.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.
Pro Tip: There's an App for That!
No time to decipher channel listings? Download the handy dandy apps of the aforementioned networks (Big Ten Network, FOX Sports, ESPN, etc.). They'll not only tell you exactly which channel the Illinois game is on, but also provide news, highlights, and analysis to keep you in the loop.
Because We All Need a Laugh: When Your Cable Fails You
Let's face it, technology isn't perfect. Cable can go out at the most inopportune moments. But fear not, for there is still hope!
QuickTip: Read in order — context builds meaning.
Gather 'round the Radio: Remember those old-timey things with knobs and dials? Most local sports radio stations will carry Illini games, providing that nostalgic crackle and the dulcet tones of an enthusiastic announcer.
Embrace the Digital Age: Streaming services like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, and Sling TV offer live TV packages that often include the Big Ten Network and other sports channels. Just be sure you have a decent internet connection and a comfortable spot to cheer on the Illini!
