How to watch the Northern Illinois Huskies for free
Any game on a local broadcast channel is free to watch using an over-the-air antenna. But when games are on premium channels like ESPN and TNT, you’ll need a Fubo or DIRECTV STREAM free trial to tune in without paying. We prefer the DIRECTV STREAM for college basketball coverage because Fubo is missing crucial TNT Sports channels.
