NBC tonight (November 28, 2025) will air the Purdue-Indiana college football game in upscaled 4K. The game, which will kickoff at 7:30 p.m. ET, will be simulcast in HD 1080i on NBC affiliates.

Which Providers Will Carry the Game In 4K?
DIRECTV, Optimum TV and YouTube TV are among the TV providers that will carry the game in 4K on special 4K channels. Consult your on-screen guide to see if your provider will carry the game in 4K. (Fubo, which normally carries NBC 4K games, is now without all NBC channels due to a carriage dispute.)

The game will be available in 1080p HD on Peacock, the NBC operated streaming service. You will need a minimum of Peacock’s $10.99 a month plan to watch the game.

The NBC broadcast will be upscaled to 4K on Optimum, DIRECTV and YouTube TV, meaning it will be produced in 1080p HD and upscaled to the higher format for home delivery. While upscaled 4K is not regarded as precise or vivid as native 4K (4K on-site production; 4K cameras; and 4K transmission to the home), it can deliver a more colorful and clear picture than a regular HD image.

Who’s Expected to Win?
Second ranked Indiana (11-0) is a 27.5-point favorite to defeat unranked Purdue (2-9). ESPN’s Matchup Predictor gives Indiana a 97 percent chance of winning.
