2022-23 Women's Basketball Composite
NEW YORK – The BIG EAST Conference announced its 2022-23 women’s basketball schedule and extensive television lineup on Monday. FOX Sports will air a total of 22 games, including the quarterfinal, semifinal and championship games of the 2023 BIG EAST Tournament presented by JEEP at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Of those 22 games, a record four will air on FOX, marking the third straight year BIG EAST women’s basketball will be featured on the broadcast network. Additionally, CBS Sports Network will air four conference matchups, while SNY will cover 18 regular-season games, including 16 during conference play. For the eighth straight year, the BIG EAST Digital Network presented by SoFi will stream every conference game not designated for television. FloSports, the home of BEDN, will also house all school-produced games as nearly 130 total women’s basketball contests will stream on the platform. Additional content on BEDN on FloSports includes “Fast Break,” the Conference’s weekly women's basketball feature show.
Eight teams tip off the season on Nov. 7, while all 11 will play their first non-conference contest by Nov. 10. Due to non-conference commitments Creighton and Xavier will play an early BIG EAST contest on Nov. 25 which will stream on BEDN, before the full opening weekend of league play tips off Dec. 2-4. The conference will play a 110-game regular-season schedule with all 11 teams playing 20 league contests in a double round-robin format.
For the 10
th consecutive year, FS1 and FS2 will provide coverage of the BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Tournament, with this season’s event returning to Mohegan Sun Arena for a third consecutive year. Quarterfinal coverage on March 4 begins on FS1 at noon ET, before FS2 takes over for the 2:30 p.m., 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. tilts. FS1 picks up the remainder of the tournament, with the semifinals on March 5 slated for 3 and 5:30 p.m., and the championship game set to tip off at 7 p.m. on March 6. First Round coverage and tip times on March 3 will be announced at a later date.
The Conference is in the 10th year of its multi-year contract with FOX Sports, which has exclusive television rights to all BIG EAST competitions. Four non-conference games are included in this year’s FOX Sports lineup, including a rematch of the 2022 national title game when Connecticut hosts South Carolina on Feb. 5 at noon on FOX.

DePaul will also be featured in non-conference coverage when the Blue Demons host 2022 Final Four squad Louisville on Dec. 21 in a game airing on FS1 at 8:30 p.m.
In addition to South Carolina-UConn, FOX will air a trio of BIG EAST contests, beginning with Creighton at DePaul on Dec. 31 at 4 p.m. Villanova dealt UConn its first conference loss in nine years before the two met again in the 2022 BIG EAST title game when the Huskies got their revenge – the two will meet again on FOX on Feb. 18 at 2:30 p.m. The FOX slate wraps up on Feb. 25 when DePaul hosts UConn in a meeting of head coaches Doug Bruno and Geno Auriemma who have combined for more than 1,900 career wins. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m. The BIG EAST’s four games on FOX broadcast network are the most in league history.
Conference action tips off on FS1 on Dec. 4 when Georgetown hosts Xavier at 6:30 p.m. Coverage continues on Dec. 18 when Providence visits St. John’s. The first FS1 contest of the New Year is slated for Jan. 11 with a rematch of last season’s buzzer-beating BIG EAST Tournament Quarterfinal game between Seton Hall and Creighton with tipoff slated for 9 p.m. Coming off a historic run to the Elite Eight this past March, the Bluejays remain on FS1 for their next two games, beginning with a visit to Butler on Jan. 14 and before hosting fellow 2022 NCAA Tournament team Villanova on Jan. 20 (9 p.m.). Both coming off deep runs in the 2022 WNIT, Marquette will host Seton Hall on FS1 on Jan. 22. FS1 will close out its regular-season coverage on Feb. 27 as teams look to solidify their seeds in the BIG EAST Tournament, with Seton Hall hosting Villanova at 7 p.m. before the rivalry game between DePaul and Marquette at 9 p.m.
CBS Sports Network coverage of four regular-season BIG EAST games begins on New Year’s Day when Xavier hosts Villanova and returns the following week on Jan. 8 when Marquette travels to Creighton. Additionally, CBS Sports Network will air Villanova at UConn on Jan. 29, and the regular-season finale between Xavier and the Huskies on Feb. 27. Tip times for these games will be announced at a later date.
SNY’s lineup includes UConn’s season opener against Northeastern on Nov. 10.
