The Illinois Fighting Illini will host the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Friday night in Week 5. Here is how to watch this Big Ten West rivalry game online.
We’ve got a Big Ten West rivalry game on tap for your enjoyment on Friday night. Meeting on the gridiron will be the Nebraska Cornhuskers (2-2) and the Illinois Fighting Illini (2-1).
Kickoff from Memorial Stadium in Champaign will be at 8:00 p.m. ET on September 29. FS1 will have the broadcast. The available live streams can be found on FOX Sports Go and on FuboTV.
Nebraska enters play at 2-2 (1-0) on the season. The Cornhuskers’ two wins are over the Arkansas State Red Wolves and a conference win over the Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Nebraska’s two losses are on the road to the Oregon Ducks and the Northern Illinois Huskies.
Illinois enters play at 2-1 (0-0) on the season. The Fighting Illini have two wins this season over the Ball State Cardinals and the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. However, they suffered their first loss on the season to the ranked South Florida Bulls in Tampa. This will be Illinois’ first Big Ten game of the season.
Though the Wisconsin Badgers are expected to be the runaway favorite in the Big Ten West, both teams could see themselves as either challengers or at least spoilers in their Big Ten division. Getting a win on Friday night in Champaign would be a great way for either school to close out their September slate.

The Big Ten has decided to get into this Friday night primetime territory, although major football powers like Michigan and Ohio State are exempt from it. That could cause problems down the road, but when was the last time you tuned in to a primetime game involving the Fighting Illini?

Exactly, and that’s why the Big Ten is doing this, to increase television exposure for some of its lesser football schools. Night games are always more fun, so maybe the student body can be hyped up for this one to see their team take down the Cornhuskers in primetime?
