No. 12 UCLA hosts Wisconsin at the Rose Bowl on Saturday, Oct. 17.

Kickoff is at 4:30 p.m. PT / 7:30 p.m. ET, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The game airs live on NBC. It streams at the same time on Peacock in a simulcast, meaning the TV feed plays live inside the app.

UCLA comes in unbeaten. The Bruins are 5-0 overall and 3-0 in the Big Ten and hold the No. 12 national ranking, according to UCLA Bruins. They beat Oregon the weekend before this game. The Big Ten noted that UCLA reached 5-0 after its win at Autzen Stadium.

Wisconsin arrives with momentum of its own. The Badgers are 4-1 overall and 2-0 in conference play. Wisconsin Athletics previewed the trip under the title "Badgers travel to Los Angeles to take on No. 12 UCLA." The school also maintains a Game Center page for build-up and live stats.

The venue is the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. The meeting is a Big Ten matchup, meaning both schools count the result in the standings of the US college football conference. UCLA listed the home date on its season schedule. It is a coast-to-coast conference game, with Wisconsin travelling west for the weekend.

On television, the simplest route is NBC. Viewers with an aerial or a cable and satellite package that includes NBC can watch the live broadcast. No extra sports package is needed for the main feed.

Streaming offers the same game through several doors. Peacock carries the NBC feed live. The game can also be streamed live through live TV services that carry NBC, including DirecTV, Fubo, Sling and Hulu + Live TV. A live TV service is cable delivered over the internet, with channels watched live rather than on demand.

Two of those options come with a short free window. DirecTV offers a five-day free trial for new subscribers. Fubo offers a five-day free trial. Trials are pitched at newcomers and require sign-up before kickoff. Check that NBC is included in your postcode and that blackouts do not apply.

For fans, this means organise early. West Coast viewers tune in late afternoon. East Coast viewers settle in at 7:30 p.m. Sort your login on the device you plan to use, and you will not miss the start.
