EVANSTON, Ill. -- Forty-six Northwestern games in 2016 will feature live streaming coverage across multiple platforms, giving fans the ability to follow the Wildcats closer than ever before starting from the first pitch of the year this Friday in Tempe, Ariz.
Coverage will be provided through Northwestern's own Studio N for the majority of this season's games. Many home and away Big Ten games will feature live streaming video through BTN Plus, while FloSoftball is providing live streaming video broadcasts of the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic and the Judi Garman Classic. For fans who do not wish to purchase an additional subscription to FloSoftball, Studio N audio also will be available at those two tournaments.
The only tournament with no live streaming coverage at this time is the B1G/ACC Challenge North Carolina site. The Illinois series on April 13 will be broadcast live on BTN.
All three of these services are subscription products. More information on each service and a helpful broadcast chart are below; please note that all of these game designations are subject to change. Links to each game broadcast will be found on the schedule page at NUsports.com.
STUDIO N: Studio N audio and video fall under a single subscription this year (this is the platform you want!) All of Northwestern softball SID Doug Meffley's road audio broadcasts will be part of the Studio N package. Home games not picked up by the Big Ten Network streaming service also will be broadcast by Studio N. Cost is $3.95 for a 24 hour pass, $6.95 for a monthly pass (BEST VALUE!) or $39.95 for an annual pass.
BTN PLUS: Select Big Ten home and road games will be broadcast via the Big Ten Network's BTN Plus streaming service. Cost is $9.95 for a monthly pass. If you plan to purchase a BTN Plus subscription, we recommend you wait until just before the Big Ten season to maximize your monthly pass and to allow the conference's BTN Plus schedule to be finalized.
FLOSOFTBALL: The website FloSoftball plans to provide live, multi-camera broadcasts with announcers for every game at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic and the Judi Garman Classic. Cost is $12.95 for a monthly pass.
