10/5/2026 2:01:00 PM | Men's Basketball
NEW YORK – The BIG EAST conference announced television designations and tip times for the 2026-27 men's basketball regular season on Monday (Oct. 5).
Included in UConn's broadcast schedule this season are up to seven games on FOX, one game on NBC, seven on Peacock, six on TNT, five on FS1, and three on truTV – with designations still pending for non-conference contests against Arizona and Illinois.
Over the last four years the Huskies have played 36 games on broadcast (29 FOX, 5 CBS, 2 NBC), trailing only Michigan State's 37 and ahead of Purdue (34) and Michigan (32) for most in the country. The Huskies played in the three of four most-watched games in college basketball last season and were the third-most watched team nationally, per Nielsen.
The full regular season schedule with venue designations, tip times and television coverage is below.
