Big Ten Apps
There are two different apps that carry Big 10 games: BTNGo and BTN Plus.
BTN2Go

BTN2Go is the Big 10’s official app. Though there is some free content on BTN2Go, to get the most out of it you have to log in with TV Everywhere credentials.
As mentioned above, BTN2Go’s key benefit is that it lets you watch recently broadcast games. Recordings last for 24 hours before they expire.
Another cool thing about BTN2Go is that it lets you watch out-of-market games. If your local BTN broadcast doesn’t have the game you want, you can use the BTN2Go app to stream a different one.
In addition to live games, BTN2Go carries original BTN programming like The Journey, Big Ten Elite?and other BTN shows.
DirecTV Stream, fuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, PlayStation Vue and YouTube TV can all unlock BTN2Go.
BTN Plus

BTN Plus is a niche subscription service for Big 10 super fans that lets you watch Big 10 games that aren’t televised. The service costs $80 a year or $10 per month.
Unfortunately, televised games are not available through BTN Plus. You have to get the BTN2Go app to watch televised games, and for that you need TV Everywhere credentials.
Another big downside to BTN Plus is that it doesn’t have any football content. Instead, it focuses on sports that get less coverage like volleyball, softball and lacrosse.
