If you are the type of cord-cutter and TV viewer who cancels your streaming subscriptions after the basketball season is over and waits to sign back up until games are back on the air, a lot can change in between seasons. It can be incredibly confusing to find the best way to watch a game in today’s entertainment landscape. Fortunately for you, I am something of a streaming expert… no, really, I write about streaming services for a living.
This season, the Buckeye women are scheduled to play on nine
different channels and streaming services. So, with all of the moving broadcast pieces, it can be tough to keep up with where and how to watch your favorite team.
So, I am going to walk you through the best — and cheapest — ways for you to stream today’s game.
How can I watch the Ohio State women vs. UIC college basketball game?
Game Date/Time: Monday, Nov. 2, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. ET
TV: BTN+
Best streaming option for all college basketball games:
BTN+ | Subscription options from $8.99-$89.99
For Ohio State fans looking to keep up with the Buckeyes beyond what is available on traditional television, B1G+ offers several subscription options to stream games and events that aren’t being televised nationally, including both the men’s and women’s hoops teams, which will be featured on the streamer multiple times this season.
In addition to both hoops teams, the service features live coverage of wrestling, volleyball, hockey, baseball, softball, and other Olympic sports, along with next-day replays of televised games, classic matchups, and original Big Ten Network programming.
Fans can choose between two recurring subscription plans: a Monthly Pass for $12.99 per month or an Annual Pass for $89.99 per year. Both provide access to the full B1G+ library, including live events from all 18 Big Ten schools, rather than just Ohio State. The annual option saves more than 40% compared to paying monthly for an entire year, making it the better choice for fans who follow multiple Buckeye sports throughout the academic year.
For fans who primarily want to watch basketball and other winter sports, B1G+ also offers a one-time Winter Pass for $44.99, providing six months of access without a recurring subscription. Through Nov. 30, fans can use the promotional code WINTERSPORTS to reduce that price to $39.99.
For today only, the streamer is offering an $8.99 one-day pass to stream all of the basketball action on the season’s opening day.
