At 24 in the Associated Press College Football Poll, The Fighting Illini head into Lincoln this weekend undefeated, and having just defeated No. 19 Kansas in Week 2. Quarterback Luke Altmyer has been hot, throwing for 647 yards and six touchdowns with no interceptions.

How to watch Illinois vs Nebraska livestreams in Canada
If you're in Canada, unfortunately, Illinois vs. Nebraska will not be on TSN. TSN has a monopoly on college football so this is essentially your only option for watching games this season, and it does not have access to this game.
Among the best streaming services we've tested, the only one that may offer games is Fubo , which has a pretty deep live sports selection and operates in Canada. Unfortunately, at this time we cannot confirm that Fubo will offer any college football livestreams in Canada like it does in the U.S.
Of course, if you're in Canada, you can always use NordVPN to watch your U.S. streaming services abroad.
