The game can be watched on NBC and Peacock with FuboTV also an option to live stream.
Both sides played each other regularly between 1948 and 2010, after which they both left Big 12. Nebraska joined the Big 10 in 2011, while the Buffaloes went to the Pac-12 for the 2011 season. However, with the future of Pac-12 uncertain, Boulder is back in the Big 12 field starting this season.
