Here is everything you need to know in order to listen to Nebraska vs. Iowa in the 2026 NCAA Tournament.
www.sportingnews.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
-
Nebraska has an updated Omaha affiliate for Husker sports radio. KOBM Boomer Radio (1490 AM / 97.3 FM) became the new Omaha home for Husker broadcasts, covering football, basketball, volleyball, baseball, and Sports Nightly, with KCRO 660 AM as a fallback in scheduling conflicts [source: SI article on the Huskers Radio Network affiliate change]. This marks a shift from ESPN 590 to Boomer Radio for the Omaha market [SI article].[1]
-
For NCAA tournament coverage, Nebraska’s radio/streaming options for specific games (such as Sweet 16 coverage) have included SiriusXM in recent years, with live play-by-play on designated channels depending on the rights and the platform used for that event. If you’re seeking the exact station for a particular game, it’s best to check the Huskers’ official site or the tournament broadcast page close to game time, as rights and channels can vary by year [Sporting News recap of Nebraska–Iowa radio coverage in 2026 and typical broadcast arrangements].[2]
How to listen now
- If you’re in Omaha or near the new affiliate area, tune to Boomer Radio on 1490 AM or 97.3 FM for Huskers broadcasts, including baseball when in season. If a game conflicts or a different rights arrangement applies, Sports Nightly or the Husker Athletic site will provide alternatives or streaming options.[3][1]
- For away games or national coverage, check SiriusXM or other listed platforms for that game’s official broadcast, as availability can change by matchup and tournament rights.[2]
