The Iowa Hawkeyes women's basketball team hosts Eastern Illinois on Thursday, November 5, 2026, with tip-off scheduled for 7:00 PM CT at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City. The game will be broadcast on Big Ten Network (BTN) and available for streaming via the Fox Sports app and website with a valid cable or streaming subscription.
Fans without traditional cable can access the game through streaming services that carry Big Ten Network, including YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, FuboTV, and Sling TV (with Sports Extra add-on). The Hawkeyes enter the matchup as heavy favorites against the Ohio Valley Conference's Eastern Illinois Panthers.
Iowa's program, led by head coach Jan Jensen, continues to draw national attention following back-to-back NCAA championship game appearances. Eastern Illinois, coached by Missy Tiber, looks to gain experience against high-major competition early in the 2026-27 season.
