Fans in Minneapolis will want to tune in to watch the action from Huntington Bank Stadium, and there are several good options for live streaming Minnesota football on most major streaming devices, including Roku devices.
Our top pick for watching Gopher football in 2023 is Fubo. Like DIRECTV STREAM, Fubo offers an upgrade for Bally Sports North, which allows Minneapolis sports fans to watch the Wild, Twins, and Timberwolves in addition to Minnesota football. As an added bonus, upgrading to the Fubo Elite plan gets Gopher fans access to select FOX Sports broadcasts in 4K.

Watch the Gophers and Vikings on KMSP-TV FOX 9 Minneapolis, St. Paul, plus ESPN, FS1, ABC, CBS, and more. | $74.99 / month | Free 5 Day Trial |

How to watch today’s Minnesota football game
In the easy to use table below, we list the upcoming Minnesota football TV schedule, as well as the live TV streaming providers that carry each game.
The most important channels for Minnesota football fans
Under the terms of Big Ten’s new TV deal, which starts this year, Minnesota football will air on CBS, FOX, NBC, FS1, and Big Ten Network.
FS1 and Big Ten Network, as properties owned by FOX and the Big Ten respectively, will feature less sought-after Big Ten matchups, while FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff airs the week’s premier Big Ten game. Important Big Ten matchups will also air on CBS and NBC, and FOX has the TV rights to broadcast the Big Ten Championship game.

How to watch Minnesota football on Fubo
fuboTV wins the top spot here for several reasons. First, it carries all the channels you need to live stream Golden Gophers football. Next, fuboTV allows users to record an entire team’s season on DVR automatically, rather than game by game. Last, fuboTV is our top pick for live streaming the Minnesota Vikings, so fans in the Twin Cities get football Saturdays and Sundays both covered with a fuboTV membership.
According to Deloitte, 25% of consumers have cancelled a streaming service only to resubscribe later on. fuboTV understands this problem and allows for what amounts to seasonal subscriptions. We love the ease with which a subscriber can pause a membership during the football off-season. With a click of a button, football fans can leave their fuboTV account dormant while football is hibernating, and pick it right back up when the pigskin starts flying and the grills light up.

How to watch Minnesota football on Hulu
Hulu + Live TV is another strong option for watching P.J. Fleck and the gridiron Gophers. Hulu gets you all the channels you need for streaming Big Ten Football. Since last year, Hulu + Live TV upgraded to unlimited DVR, plus Hulu + Live TV does offer the Big Ten Network in its base package, as well as the ESPN+ bundle for even more college football and UFC events.

How to watch Minnesota football on Sling TV
Sling TV Blue + Sports Extra will get Gopher fans in Minneapolis access to KMSP-TV FOX 9 Minneapolis/St. Paul, FS1, and Big Ten Network. However, CBS and NBC will be missing for Sling users, which means gaps in coverage for Gopher football. Technically, Gopher fans who are Sling TV users could add Peacock and Paramount+ to get full coverage of the Minnesota football season, but this would involve toggling between three apps.

How to watch Minnesota football on YouTube TV
While I don’t love the requirement of a Google account to use the platform, I do love YouTube TV for streaming football. Golden Gopher fans can get all the channels they need with YouTube TV, and an upgrade to the 4K package will get a lot of ESPN games in 4K. If you’re a fantasy football enthusiast, YouTube TV’s mobile app integrates with NFL.com fantasy teams in real time.

How to watch Minnesota football on Peacock
New for 2023, NBC will host a prime-time Big Ten Football matchup branded Big Ten Saturday Night Football on NBC. These prime-time games will be carried on local NBC affiliates nationwide, but will also live-stream on Peacock. In addition, 8 Big Ten football games each season will be carried exclusively by Peacock, which is a move similar to the deal NBC made with MLB for Sunday Morning Baseball.
Watching Gopher Football FAQ
No, ESPN+ doesn’t carry any Gopher football games. The Big Ten’s new TV deal is with FOX, NBC, and CBS, no longer ESPN.
Yes, FOX broadcasts many Big Noon Saturday matchups in 4K. When the Gophers appear in these games, you can live stream the games on supported devices in 4K with either fuboTV or YouTube TV.
