Maryland vs. Purdue Football: BTN and FOX One Viewing Guide — Updated November 7, 2026

Information checked Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 4:10 pm in West Lafayette, Indiana (Eastern Standard Time, EST, UTC-05:00), or 21:10 UTC. The Maryland Terrapins visited the Purdue Boilermakers on Saturday, November 7, 2026, with kickoff scheduled for 12:30 p.m. in West Lafayette, Indiana (EST, UTC-05:00), equivalent to 5:30 p.m. UTC. U.S. viewers could watch the game on Big Ten Network (BTN) or stream the BTN broadcast through FOX One, subject to subscription and viewing rights. Because the scheduled kickoff has already passed, viewers opening the coverage now should check whether the live feed is still available; a replay or recording is not guaranteed.

The venue is Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, and Purdue is the home team for its Homecoming weekend. Maryland and Purdue both confirmed the kickoff and TV outlet, while FOX's own matchup listing identifies FOX One as a streaming route. The official university schedule pages examined during this check did not provide a confirmed final result, so this viewing guide does not claim a winner or final score.

What channel is Maryland vs. Purdue football on?

Big Ten Network is the official U.S. television channel for Maryland at Purdue on November 7. Maryland announced BTN and the 12:30 p.m. kickoff in its October 26 broadcast announcement. Purdue also confirms both details in its official game-week update.

If you have a cable, satellite or live-TV subscription, check whether your package includes BTN. The channel number depends on your provider and address. A basic antenna alone does not normally receive BTN because it is a subscription sports network. If BTN is missing from your channel lineup, the simplest confirmed digital alternative for this particular game is FOX One.

How can I stream Maryland vs. Purdue without cable?

FOX's dedicated Maryland–Purdue viewing page lists BTN for television and FOX One for live streaming. Its college football viewing instructions explain that eligible subscribers and some participating TV-provider customers can use the FOX One service on the web or a supported device.

1. Open FOX One on its website or supported television, phone or streaming device.
2. Sign in with a valid FOX One subscription, qualifying offer, or eligible TV-provider credentials.
3. Go to the Sports or College Football section and look for Maryland Terrapins vs. Purdue Boilermakers.
4. Select the BTN game feed if it is still live. If kickoff has passed and the feed is gone, look for an authorized replay or highlights rather than assuming a recording is included.

FOX advertises trial access in connection with some viewing offers, but promotional eligibility and terms can change. Do not assume the game is free or that a particular trial is available to every account. Also check device support and U.S. location restrictions before subscribing. A live-TV service that includes BTN may work as well, but channel inclusion varies by plan, so confirm your exact package instead of relying on a generic list of streaming brands.

What time did Maryland vs. Purdue kick off in each U.S. time zone?

The scheduled start was 12:30 p.m. EST on Saturday, November 7, at Purdue's campus in West Lafayette. U.S. daylight saving time ended on November 1, 2026, so the November 7 conversions use standard-time offsets rather than summer daylight-time offsets.

These conversions cover places observing those named time zones on the game date; some U.S. states and territories have different clock rules. Purdue's official 2026 football schedule displays the matchup at 12:30 p.m. EST at West Lafayette, confirming the event's time-zone context.

How can fans listen to the game or follow live stats?

Fans without a video subscription still have team-linked ways to follow the action. Maryland's football schedule and game center include a Listen Live option for the Maryland Sports Radio Network and a Live Stats link. Purdue's schedule links the Purdue Global Sports Network and official live statistics.

Radio coverage and online audio availability can vary by station and region. The team schedule pages are safer starting points than guessing a local frequency. Live stats can provide scores, drives and individual performance information without requiring the televised game feed. If the game has ended, check those game centers for an official box score or recap once published.

Why does this Maryland–Purdue matchup matter?

Entering the game, the teams were trying to change the trajectory of their Big Ten seasons. Maryland's official game preview listed the Terrapins at 2-6 overall and 0-5 in conference, compared with 3-5 overall and 2-3 in the Big Ten for Purdue. Those records are pregame figures, not results from November 7.

The Terrapins were seeking their first Big Ten victory of the season after narrow recent defeats to Rutgers and Illinois. Purdue had beaten Illinois and Minnesota earlier in October but then lost to Washington and Penn State. A win would have given either program momentum heading into the remaining November schedule, although the precise consequences depend on the verified final score.

Purdue designated the contest as Homecoming. The teams had split their previous four meetings, according to Maryland's official kickoff announcement. That history and the conference standings add context, but they do not establish a likely winner. For fans deciding whether to tune in, the most practical distinction is still the distribution: this was a BTN game with a FOX One streaming option, not a general free-to-air national broadcast.

What should viewers check after kickoff or after the final whistle?

Since the scheduled start is already in the past as of the timestamp above, open the FOX matchup page first to see whether live viewing or another authorized viewing option remains available. The game may have moved beyond its live window by the time a reader opens this page. FOX's live rights do not by themselves guarantee that a full replay will stay accessible.

For a confirmed final score, statistics or postgame coverage, use the Maryland game center or Purdue game listing. Avoid treating an in-progress score, a cached schedule or an unverified social media post as the final result.
