FAQs: Northern Illinois vs San José State
How can I watch Northern Illinois vs. San José State?
You can watch the game on NBC Sports Bay Area or stream it on MW+. The broadcast and stream are scheduled for the November 7 matchup; specific subscription, blackout and other access requirements have not been stated.
What time does the game start?
Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. Pacific Time on Saturday, November 7, which is 3 p.m. Central Time. That’s 4 p.m. Eastern for viewers on the East Coast.
Where is the game being played, and which team is at home?
San José State hosts Northern Illinois at CEFCU Stadium in San Jose, California. NIU is the road team, so Huskies fans traveling to the game should plan for a home crowd in Spartan territory.
Is this a conference game or a postseason matchup?
It’s a Mountain West regular-season conference game, not a postseason contest. The November 7 meeting falls in the closing stretch of NIU’s conference schedule, making it part of league play rather than a nonconference tune-up.
What radio options are available for following the game?
NIU fans can follow the Huskies on WDKB 94.9 FM or through the NIU Huskies App. Those are the radio-follow options identified for the season; the game’s video coverage is on NBC Sports Bay Area and MW+.
