How To Watch Indiana Hoosiers Women’s Basketball
✦ Edited and fact-checked by Junior Sports Writer Alex Vejar, who has more than 10 years of experience covering sports.
Adjusting to life after Holmes
Watching the Indiana women’s basketball team in 2025–2026 might come with some genuine anxiety. The program hasn’t been the same since Mackenzie Holmes graduated and turned pro.
The season has started relatively well, but the Hoosiers are yet to win a conference game. The team seems to be searching for a new identity, shifting from a post-dominant style to a perimeter-oriented attack led by Shay Ciezki and Lenée Beaumont.
But let’s take a deep breath before hitting the panic button. Coach Teri Moren is still one of the best tacticians in the country, and this roster has enough talent to figure it out before March. The scrutiny is high, but so is the potential ceiling once this new offensive scheme clicks.
Whether you are watching to critique the new perimeter offense or to cheer on the recovery, you need to know where to tune in. This guide lays out the essential TV channels and streaming services you’ll need to follow Indiana women’s basketball as they find their footing.
2025–26 Indiana women’s basketball TV schedule
The road to recovery plays out on national television, which is good news for fans who can’t make it to Assembly Hall. The immediate focus is the January 11 matchup against Iowa on the Big Ten Network (BTN). This is a critical “get right” game early in the conference slate that could create some momentum.
As we move deeper into the season, you can expect the Hoosiers to be fixtures on BTN, B1G+, and Peacock Premium.

Best TV plans for Indiana women’s basketball
To follow the Hoosiers this season, you need a service that locks down the Big Ten Network (BTN). My top pick for most fans is Hulu + Live TV. It offers a clean interface, unlimited DVR (perfect for recording games when life gets in the way), and carries BTN in its base package. It’s a reliable way to ensure you catch the majority of the conference slate.
Unfortunately, the Big Ten’s media deal means a single subscription isn’t enough anymore. You need to add Peacock Premium and B1G+ to your rotation, particularly for women’s basketball.
For the obsessive fan who also wants to scout the non-conference opponents or catch early-season tune-ups, B1G+ is the supplement you need. It handles the games that major networks pass on, and many conference games will stream there this season.
