Big Ten Plus on FOX One: Your Complete Streaming Guide
You can now stream Big Ten Plus alongside your favorite FOX shows and live sports. Here's everything you need to know about the B1G+ add-on inside FOX One.
Stream Big Ten sports all in one place
You can now stream Big Ten Plus (B1G+) directly inside FOX One. Thanks to the new integration, Big Ten streaming and FOX programming are finally available under one roof. Instead of switching between separate apps for FOX Sports, Big Ten Network (BTN), and B1G+ events, FOX One lets you access everything on a single platform.
This setup makes it easier to follow the full range of Big Ten action. You can seamlessly jump from nationally televised games on FOX and BTN to school-produced streams on B1G+. Because B1G+ operates as an add-on inside FOX One, you get deeper conference coverage without the headache of juggling multiple subscriptions.
If you’re deciding whether to stick with a standalone B1G+ account or add it directly through FOX One, I have you covered. My guide below breaks down exactly how the integration works, what you get with each option, and which setup best fits your viewing habits.
What is B1G+ on FOX One?
B1G+ originally launched as a dedicated streaming home for Big Ten events that don’t air on national TV. It specializes in live school-produced broadcasts and behind-the-scenes content you won’t see anywhere else.
FOX One, on the other hand, is FOX’s new unified streaming hub for live sports, news, and entertainment. With B1G+ available as an optional add-on within FOX One, fans can access that massive library of exclusive campus streams right alongside major national FOX broadcasts.
Here’s how the integration actually works.
- Subscriptions don’t transfer: This is the biggest catch. A standalone B1G+ subscription won’t activate access inside FOX One, and a FOX One B1G+ add-on won’t let you log into the B1G+ app. You have to pick one platform or the other.
- The content is identical: No matter which route you choose, you get the same live events, replays, and campus-specific broadcasts.
- Consolidated billing: Purchasing the add-on through FOX One rolls your B1G+ access directly into your base FOX One bill. That means you manage just one monthly payment for your core FOX programming, B1G+, and any other add-ons you choose.
Ultimately, this setup gives fans a frictionless way to follow deep conference coverage without leaving the broader FOX entertainment environment.
How much does B1G+ on FOX One cost?
To stream B1G+ through FOX One, your total cost will be $32.98 per month. This combined price includes the required FOX One base subscription ($19.99 per month) and the B1G+ add-on fee ($12.99 per month). If you want to lower your overall cost, both platforms offer annual billing options that provide solid savings over 12 months.
The biggest thing to understand is that the B1G+ price doesn’t drop just because you’re subscribing through FOX One instead of the standalone app. The real benefit is convenience. You get all of your live sports and conference streams in one place under one login and one app, not necessarily a cheaper subscription.

What do you get with B1G+ on FOX One?
This is where the integration really earns its keep. The easiest way to think of it is that FOX One covers the headline games, while B1G+ covers the rest of the campus.
Exclusive B1G+ campus coverage
When you add B1G+ to FOX One, you unlock live, non-televised Big Ten events that don’t typically air on major networks. That includes a steady stream of sports like volleyball, wrestling, baseball, softball, soccer, field hockey, gymnastics, and other Olympic-style programs.
You also get school-specific docuseries, studio shows, and highlights. On top of that, the platform’s multiview feature and full-event archive let you watch multiple games at once and catch up on anything you missed.
FOX One’s national channels
Having the core FOX One subscription means you’re already set up for the biggest games of the week.
Remember, the B1G+ add-on is designed to supplement your national coverage, not duplicate it. To catch nationally televised Big Ten coverage across the FOX Sports family of networks, you’ll simply rely on the live FOX, FS1, and BTN channels built right into your main plan.
The only downside here is the Big Ten’s split media rights. Because the conference partners with multiple networks, you’ll still need separate subscriptions for any games that land on CBS, NBC, or Peacock.
How to watch B1G+ without FOX One
If you don’t want to bundle everything into FOX One, you can still subscribe to B1G+ directly through the standalone B1G+ app or website. The monthly and annual pricing is identical to the FOX One add-on, so the decision really comes down to your current TV setup.
The standalone route makes the most sense if you only care about non-televised sports—like wrestling duals, midweek baseball, or volleyball—and don’t need access to major national broadcasts.
On the other hand, if you already subscribe to a cable or live TV streaming service (like YouTube TV or Fubo), you can likely log into the FOX One app for free using your TV provider credentials.
If your plan allows this, getting the B1G+ add-on through FOX One is still your best option. Not only does it keep all your Big Ten action in a single place, but you’ll also benefit from FOX One’s superior streaming quality and app support.
