    With the Oregon football team’s move to the Big Ten Conference this fall, the Ducks’ TV schedule already looks a bit different from years past.

    No longer will fans have to worry about tracking down Pac-12 Network if it doesn’t come with your cable service, but new stations and services like Big Ten Network and Peacock will be needed to watch games.

    Here are the channels you’ll need to watch Oregon football this season, and where you might be able to find them on cable and streaming services.

    Big Ten Network

    Fans hoping to watch Oregon football from home will need access to Big Ten Network. To date, the Ducks’ season opener at home against Idaho on Aug. 31 will air on BTN, with more games likely to be shown throughout the season that have not yet been announced.

    The channel is simple enough to find on every major cable service. See the list below for which channel BTN is on for each service in Eugene. You can also find it yourself through the network’s website .

    Comcast Xfinity: 403 (SD), 726, 1313 (HD)

    DIRECTV: 610

    DISH: 410

    Spectrum: 400 (SD), 822 (HD)

    If fans don’t have cable, there are plenty of streaming options to watch the network.

    How to stream the Big Ten Network

    The most affordable is Sling TV , which ranges from $40 to $55 per month. To watch BTN, fans will need to add the Sports Extra package to the Sling Blue plan or the combined Sling Orange and Blue plan. BTN is not included in the Sports Extra package in the Sling Orange plan.

    DIRECTV STREAM also offers Big Ten Network at a higher cost but with more channels and features, like unlimited DVR from $80 to $165 per month.

    Hulu with live TV also offers BTN, along with Disney Plus and ESPN+ for $76.99 or $89.99 per month with no ads.

    Finally, Fubo offers Big Ten Network on its Pro, Elite, and Premier plans ranging from $80 to $100 per month.

    Peacock

    Another new service Duck fans will have to get used to is Peacock , a streaming service that is partnered with the Big Ten and will air exclusive football games and other sporting events.

    Oregon’s second game, Sept. 7 at home against Boise State, is set to air on Peacock.

    Peacock is a streaming-only service, meaning you can’t find it on cable, though some cable services offer Peacock for free with certain plans.

    Currently Peacock is $7.99 per month with ads, or $13.99 per month without ads .

    FOX, CBS, NBC

    This one shouldn’t be new for Duck fans, as Oregon games have been broadcast on each of these stations before. The Big Ten has a major media rights deal in place with Fox, CBS and NBC. Each station is available with an antenna and comes with every major cable service.

    Oregon games may also occasionally air on FS1, part of Fox’s family of networks. Hulu with live TV includes FS1.

    Oregon’s matchup against Oregon State in Corvallis on Sept. 14 is set to air on Fox.

    ESPN/ABC

    Another channel that fans should already be familiar with, ESPN and its other stations like ESPN2 and ESPNU are included in most cable packages and most streaming service plans with a focus on sports, as well as ABC, which can be accessed through antenna and all cable packages.
