Huskers Featured Early, Often on Big Ten TV Schedule

Lincoln - The Nebraska women's basketball team learned it will play in big environments early and often under the lights of television cameras during the 2025-26 season, when the Big Ten Conference announced its network TV schedule on Tuesday, Oct. 7.

The league's television announcement, which came one day ahead of the Big Ten Women's Basketball Media Day in Chicago, includes 11 featured television games on the FOX family of networks for the Big Red. All 11 games will come against 2025 postseason teams, including nine against fellow NCAA Tournament foes.

Nebraska's 11 TV appearances include nine games on BTN, one on FS1 and a special Presidents' Day showcase on FOX national TV against Iowa in Lincoln. Five of NU's televised games will come inside Pinnacle Bank Arena, while five will feature true Big Ten road games and one more will come at a neutral site.

Season tickets and Starting 5 Mini-Plan packages for Nebraska women's basketball are on sale now through the Athletic Ticket Office at Huskers.com. Husker women's basketball has ranked among the top 25 nationally in attendance for 15 consecutive years, and Nebraska has earned NCAA Tournament appearances in three of the past four seasons under Head Coach Amy Williams.

Four days later, Nebraska will be back on TV when they travel to the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D., for a neutral-site battle with North Dakota State on the Big Ten Network.
