How to Follow Men’s College Basketball on B1G+
Use this B1G+ college basketball guide when the channel or service matters as much as the matchup. B1G+ is the Big Ten's direct streaming service for events that are not the same as the linear Big Ten Network telecast schedule.

What B1G+ Streams
B1G+ is the Big Ten's direct streaming service for events that are not the same as the linear Big Ten Network telecast schedule. Read the rows above as confirmed game-level listings. Each row joins the local tip time, teams, venue and exact carrier; broad conference or network announcements are useful context but do not replace that assignment.
What belongs on this schedule
Official BTN season information separates televised BTN games from dozens of B1G+ exclusive men's streams. Campus productions and nonconference matchups can form an important part of the catalog. Select the exact event and verify the teams and status. Some campus streams have shorter pregame windows, so the live player may appear nearer to tip-off.
Choose a School or Men's Basketball View
Open B1G+, choose the relevant school or sport and confirm the subscription option attached to the event. Supported devices and account access should be tested before tip. Access can change with the viewer's plan, location and device. Test the viewing route before a must-watch game, and use the official destination for account, billing or playback questions.

B1G+ and Big Ten Network Are Different
B1G+ does not include the live Big Ten Network channel merely because both use Big Ten branding. BTN games require their own television or authenticated viewing access. Dates and television decisions can move after a matchup first enters the season schedule. Return close to tip-off, especially when a time remains TBA or several games share one evening window.
Avoid a similar channel or service label
Follow a school view when you care about one program, or scan men's basketball for the full conference. Compare the BTN and Peacock pages for games assigned away from B1G+. Not every Big Ten home game belongs on B1G+. National partners select many matchups, and this schedule waits for an explicit B1G+ assignment.
Check the Exact Event Before Tip

The guide is designed for quick decisions: identify the game, confirm the carrier, convert the time and open the official destination. It does not host video or guarantee local availability.
When the game board is empty
The key fan decision is whether the badge says BTN or B1G+. Keeping the two pages separate prevents buying or opening the wrong type of access. Follow a school view when you care about one program, or scan men's basketball for the full conference. Compare the BTN and Peacock pages for games assigned away from B1G+.
