Important channels
Based on current TV contracts with CBS Sports Network and ESPN, most MAC games, including Northern Illinois games, will air on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN+, and CBS Sports Network. Early in the season, when Northern Illinois faces an ACC, SEC, Big 10, or PAC-12 opponent, the game will often appear on that conference’s network, such as Big 10 Network or ACC Network. In the channel comparison table below, I have also included the live TV streaming services that carry NBC Sports Chicago and the Marquee Sports Network, the regional sports networks that broadcast local MLB, NBA, and NHL action to sports fans in the Chicago area.

Top picks
Hulu + Live TV is the only live TV streaming service that offers all of the Northern Illinois football games from one app. As an added bonus, you get NBC Sports Chicago in the base package with a Hulu subscription. The downside is that Hulu offers only 50 hours of DVR storage in the base package, which won’t be enough for many households. Cubs fans can’t get Marquee Sports Network on Hulu.
Hulu is the better choice for watching NIU football, unless you’re also a Cubs fan and want to stream in-market games.
fuboTV is an attractive option because it carries most of the channels you need to live stream NIU football, as well as NBC Sports Chicago and the Marquee Sports Network in the base package. fuboTV is an excellent platform for watching the NFL on Sundays.
