Lou, in some places the overflow Big Ten Network channels are nowhere near the main BTN so you may have to look around.

Not sure about other non-eastern states, but so far it looks like YouTubeTV subscribers will only get to see Fordham-Nebraska in Arizona, based on the current area YouTubeTV broadcast schedule for Saturday. (And it doesn't look like YouTubeTV carries the BTN alt channel.) Bummer.

BTN still showing Fordham vs Nebraska in that time slot (yawn) here in Oregon.

Hopefully B1G10+ will air the game.

I put in my zip code and provider (Verizon FIOS) and it gave me a channel that doesn't exist (330). I did find extra BTN channels 830, 831, and 832 however they all list Nebraska at this point. Maybe 830 will show it and just hasn't been updated yet. Fingers crossed

That Channel finder has some incorrect information. In my zip code, it says Verizon Fios carries the Big Ten Network overflow on channel 330. There are no stations on 330. Big Ten overflow here is 830,831, and 833.

I'm now wondering if there's a small chance that YouTubeTV subscribers will still get to see the game. On my live schedule of channels, the regular BTN channel is the only BTN channel listed. But when I go to "settings" and look at my channel guide, BTN overflow 1, 2, and 3 channels are also listed and I have them checked to show on the live list if they're broadcasting. I wonder if there's any chance that one of them will appear on the live channel list on Saturday, so that we'll be able to watch RU-Temple on YTTV... I'm not optimistic, but maybe we'll get lucky....

Don’t worry. They just haven’t updated their guide yet.

Streaming BTN plus is probably your best bet. They're offering a free trial month so if you're on your last legs trying to find it, it won't cost you a dime, just remember to cancel at the end of the month.

BTN+ doesn’t televise football. BTN and the Fox Sports App are the two options.

Does anyone know how overflow channels work for YouTubeTV?
I've only had YouTube Tv for a few months don't so know but a couple things I found online from 2-3 years ago say YouTube TV does have BTN overflow channels but they only appear during college football season or maybe basketball too. I'll see this season if that's true.

I know for the Olympics some NBC Olympic channels showed up that weren't there beforehand and then disappeared after the Olympics were over so it might be like that.

Overflow channels are just for football.

I'm in SC also. If you have a national provider, you'll probably get the game on BTN. But doubtful with local cable companies.

I have Directv and the game is listed on BTN 610-1

Here in S. Fla I've got Dish. Overflow BTN for the game is 405-2.

Also it's available to everyone using the Fox Sports app which you can stream thru ROKU (etal.) on to your TV

"I have Directv and the game is listed on BTN 610-1". Same here in AZ. Just added to program guide with TBA.
Pretty sure that was added to broadcast RU-Temple.

How is that Fox Sports app now? Any better? Last time I used it, it sucked and they had just merged the BTN app content into it. Wouldn’t even unlock tiles for the games after verification of my at the time FIOS tv credentials. All you could get was a game tracker.

Test it out. Go to the Fox Sports app. BTN is currently showing "Penn State Classic". If you can access this now you should be fine.

Seems okay with verification of YouTube TV credentials. That's still my first option but Fox Sports app can always be a good backup just in case.

Those in SF Bay Area - BTN on Comcast showing Fordham v. Nebraska. Online FOXNOW app has Rutgers v. Temple via BTN if you have Sports Package. Use FOXNOW app on Firestick, AppleTV or Chromecast to put on bigger screens.

This.is stating the obvious, bit college football season has started. no overflow channels to be found.

When I say college football season starts I guess I mean with more specificity when the games are actually on. I did look at the live guide in settings on my laptop at tv.youtube.com like that other poster said and the BTN overflow channels (3 of them) are listed there and checked off. So I’m hoping they should pop up when the games are on but I really won’t know for sure until the games are on.

Go to customize at bottom of live TV.
You will see BTN, & 3 BTN Overflow channels.(I see them this morning). Check them so they will show on live feed later today.

I think overflow shows up only during game time.

I'm in Georgia, so we should have same options.

For those with FIOS the BTN app shows it on Channel 830. That’s wrong it’s actually on Channel 831.

Mine too I’m guessing only at game time but we’ll see.

Speaking of qbs…reminds of something I discovered and that’s YouTube Tv actually has game stats for live games that overlay over the display if you like to see them.

Press the down button and for live games there’s a stats section and you click on that and in game stats show up on the screen. Hit back button to get out of it. I don’t know that I’d use it but thought it was a nice little feature. I think it’s only for live games not replays.

So on FIOS, the normal BTN is 585 HD and the Nebraska game is listed. On the overflow BTN channels of 831 and 833, the Rutgers game is listed on 831 with 833 also carrying the Nebraska game. Both 831 & 833 are HD, which last year those channels were non HD and in the 333 & 335 lineup I believe.
