You can watch Iowa Hawkeyes football live on a host of different devices including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Smart TV, and more.
My top pick for Hawkeyes fans in 2023 is fuboTV. With a growing lineup of 4K programming, including FOX sports broadcasts, KGAN CBS 2 Cedar Rapids for watching the Chiefs, and Big Ten Network in the base package, fuboTV has a lot to offer Iowa sports fans.

How to watch Iowa football on Hulu + Live TV
I’ve enjoyed watching college football on Hulu. I like the interface and the service has all the channels you need to live stream the Hawkeyes and Big Ten Football. Big Ten Network is offered in the base package and the ESPN+ bundle gets NCAAF fans even more games.

How to watch Iowa football on Sling TV
Sling Orange or Blue, as stand alone services, offer value as budget picks, but they are missing key channels for Iowa football. For example, Sling TV users in Iowa can’t get FOX or ABC without an air antenna. Nevertheless, the availability of ESPN, FS1, and Big Ten Network offers some coverage.

How to watch Iowa football on YouTube TV
YouTube TV offers the full lineup of channels you need to live stream the Hawkeyes. We also love the unlimited DVR in the base package, and the extensive 4K lineup.

How to watch Iowa football on Peacock
New for 2023, Hawkeye fans will be able to see a handful of Iowa football games on Peacock. Under the Big Ten’s new TV deal, Peacock will simulcast the Big Ten Saturday Night prime-time game on Saturday night with NBC. In addition, Peacock will be the exclusive home of 8 Big Ten football games in 2023, which brings the “streaming exclusive” model that has so frustrated MLB fans to college football. Buckle up because it’s going to be a wild ride.
Watching Iowa football FAQ
The Wolverines are not on Iowa’s schedule in 2023 unless both teams make it to the Big Ten Championship game. You have to wonder whether not having to play his former teammates factored into Cade McNamara’s decision to transfer to the Hawkeyes.
