How To Watch Nebraska Cornhuskers Women’s Basketball
✦ Edited and fact-checked by Junior Sports Writer Alex Vejar, who has more than 10 years of experience covering sports.
The Big Ten’s most dangerous dark horse
While the headlines usually gravitate toward the coasts or Iowa City, something explosive is happening in Lincoln. The Nebraska Cornhuskers are arguably the hottest team in the conference right now, and they are doing it with pure, unadulterated offense. Dropping 80+ points has become the standard, not the exception, and blowout wins over teams like Creighton and Penn State prove this isn’t just empty calorie scoring—they are dominating quality opponents.
Fans are rightfully asking, “Why aren’t we ranked higher?” but I suspect that will change soon. With Logan Nissley evolving into a sharpshooting star and a roster that boasts incredible depth, this team is shaping up to be a legitimate title contender. The “prove it” moments haven’t been great, but Nebraska still looks like the classic dark horse that nobody wants to see in their bracket.
If you enjoy high-scoring, fast-paced action, you need to be watching Nebraska women’s basketball. I’ve compiled everything you need to know about where to find the Cornhuskers on TV, which streaming apps are worth your money, and how to catch their biggest games of the year.
2025–26 Nebraska women’s basketball TV schedule
The schedule is about to heat up significantly. After a successful tune-up against Cal Baptist on December 21, the Huskers faced their biggest tests of the season to kick off the new year.
Nebraska lost to USC and Iowa, both ranked opponents. With so many Big Ten teams ranked this season, it just won’t get any easier for the Huskers, which means every game is important for their NCAA Tournament resume.

Best TV plans for Nebraska women’s basketball
To witness this offensive juggernaut live, priority number one is access to the Big Ten Network (BTN). My recommendation for the best viewing experience is Hulu + Live TV. It’s a bit pricey, but it will get you BTN and FS1, plus any local channels you’ll need for late in the season.
While the Big Ten has streaming exclusives on Peacock Premium for many teams, the Huskers aren’t one of them in 2025–2026. Instead, the streamer you’ll absolutely need to watch Nebraska women’s basketball this season is B1G+. It’s a niche service, but if you want to see the Huskers play every game, it’s the only way.
