Big Ten Network Unveils 2026 Football Broadcast Lineup
The Big Ten Network has revealed its ambitious 2026 college football broadcast schedule, promising to air 43 games across its television and streaming platforms while expanding studio programming that will feature analysis from every corner of the conference.
A fresh wave of talent is joining the roster, with former NFL standouts Ryan Kerrigan, Kenjon Barner and Brett Hundley stepping into analyst roles alongside returning voices such as Jake Butt, Rhett Lewis and Anthony Herron.
Play‑by‑play announcers Jeff Levering, Mark Followill and Lisa Byington will call the action, while on‑field reporters Brooke Fletcher, Caroline Hendershot and Dannie Rogers will bring the sidelines to life.
Starting August 6, the network will launch Football Training Camp shows from all 18 Big Ten campuses, giving fans an early, behind‑the‑scenes look at each school’s preparation.
Weekly staples like B1G Tailgate, which travels to a different campus each Saturday morning, and the 30‑minute B1G Countdown to Kickoff will set the stage for game day, with The Final Drive wrapping up Saturday night with a recap of the weekend’s highlights.
The Emmy‑nominated franchise The Journey: Big Ten Football 2026 will debut its 15th season, continuing its tradition of in‑depth storytelling about the conference’s programs.
Fans can also access condensed game replays and full‑length re‑plays on B1G+, the network’s subscription streaming service, and follow the action on X, Facebook, YouTube and Instagram via the @B1GFootball handles.
All BTN programming is available through FOX One, ensuring that viewers across the United States can stream the content wherever they are.
