No. 4 Ohio State visits No. 5 Indiana on Fox in top-five Big Ten clash
No. 4 Ohio State visits No. 5 Indiana at 12 p.m. ET on Saturday, Oct. 17, in a Big Ten meeting of unbeaten conference records.
The game kicks off at 9 a.m. PT from Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Indiana, and will air live on Fox, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Rankings and venue details were reported by The Athletic. The Big Ten, meaning one of the major conferences in United States college football, has both teams at 3-0 in league play.
Indiana lists the fixture as Game 7 in Week 7 of its season, per Indiana Athletics. Indiana enters 6-0 overall. Ohio State enters 5-1 overall. For Ohio State, the trip is its second road conference game, Ohio State said in its kickoff announcement.
Recent history gives the meeting an edge. Indiana beat then-No. 1 Ohio State 13-10 in Indianapolis, with Elijah Sarratt scoring a touchdown, the Big Ten reported in its title-game sequel preview. Indiana also won its first national title last season, beating Miami (Fla.) 27-21, according to a Big Ten release. The longer series favours Ohio State, which holds a 31-1-1 all-time record against Indiana.
For fans, this means a simple choice on television. Turn on Fox at noon ET. That is the over-the-air broadcast, meaning anyone with an aerial or a pay-TV package that carries Fox can watch live.
Streaming adds several paths. The game can be streamed live on DirecTV, Fubo, Sling and Hulu + Live TV, and livestreamed on Fox One, The Hollywood Reporter reported. DirecTV and Fubo both offer a five-day free trial. Fox One offers a three-day free trial.
Fox One then costs $19.99 per month or $199.99 per year if viewers keep the subscription. Trials require sign-up, so viewers who want the free window will need to time it to kickoff.
What makes this stand out is access. A top-five matchup in the middle of the day sits in a national broadcast slot, not behind a specialist sports package. Anyone who finds Fox finds the game.
