National Football Watch Parties

Wednesday, Nov. 5, 6 or 7 p.m. CST
Cheer on your Huskies during our National Football Watch Party Day on Wednesday, Nov. 5, as NIU takes on the Toledo Rockets in Toledo, Ohio! Join your fellow Huskies for a Watch Party or a Huddle nationwide at one of the locations in Illinois, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Washington or Wisconsin.
Each venue will have a dedicated space to gather, for groups big and small. Guests will be able to pay for their own food and drinks on separate checks. A Huskie host will be there to coordinate games or giveaways during the game!
Check out some of the photos from previous watch parties and don't forget to post this year's pictures from your watch party on our Facebook and X pages.
Learn about all the events that the NIU Alumni Association has going on this football season. Go Huskies!
