what channel is big ten network

The Big Ten Network (BTN) channel number depends on your TV provider and your city, so there is no single universal channel number for everyone.

Here are some common examples to give you a sense of where it usually appears:

  • DirecTV: BTN is typically on channel 610.
  • DISH: BTN is commonly on channel 439.
  • Spectrum: Many areas list BTN around channel 382, but some cities use other numbers like 324, 400, 264, or even 20.
  • Xfinity (Comcast): BTN often appears around channels 410 or 1400 (HD), but this varies by region.

Because BTN is a national cable sports network, your exact channel depends on your ZIP code and provider package. The fastest way to find the precise number:

  1. Open your provider’s online channel lineup page.
  2. Enter your ZIP code.
  3. Search for “Big Ten Network” or “BTN” in the channel list.

Many providers, and even BTN itself, offer a dedicated “channel finder” tool where you enter your TV provider and ZIP to get the exact channel number for your location.
