There’s only One Way to Watch Michigan vs Purdue in Today’s Huge Big Ten Showdown; Channel, Time, Odds

Purdue, with an 11-3 conference record, must beat Michigan, which leads Big Ten at 14-1, to maintain title hopes and keep multiple teams in contention.

  • On Tuesday, February 17, 2026, Purdue Boilermakers must beat No. 1 Michigan Wolverines at Mackey Arena to stay in the Big Ten title chase; tipoff is 6:30 p.m. ET, streamed on Peacock.
  • Michigan, 24-1 and 14-1, leads Big Ten with the program's best start while Purdue, the preseason favorite, enters as a rare home underdog at 11-3.
  • A No. 1 visiting team hasn't played at Mackey in 26 years, and last season's three meetings saw Purdue win 91-64 at home before Michigan took the tournament rematch.
  • A Purdue win would open the Big Ten title race to Illinois and Nebraska, while a loss would likely end Purdue's championship hopes.
  • Purdue coach Matt Painter said, 'We want all these games to be meaningful games. The only way for us, in the situation we're in, is to keep winning,' as Purdue has five remaining conference games to influence NCAA seeding.
