NEW YORK (October 2, 2024) – The BIG EAST Conference men’s basketball television schedule will feature a record number of national broadcast network appearances for the 2024-25 season. Through its partnership with FOX Sports, the BIG EAST has maintained its position as one of the leaders in the number of games appearing on an over-the-air national network. Television network assignments and game times have been announced.
For the first time ever, the FOX broadcast network will air both BIG EAST Tournament semifinal games, in addition to the championship game from Madison Square Garden. The BIG EAST Tournament has been held at MSG since 1983. It is college basketball’s longest running conference postseason tournament held at the same venue. FS1 will televise more than 80 games. FOX broadcast network’s coverage includes at least 18 games during the regular season.
The FOX broadcast network coverage begins with a doubleheader on Saturday, Dec. 7, St. John’s hosts Kansas State followed by Marquette hosting Wisconsin. The other non-league game is Gonzaga versus UConn at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 14.
CBS Sports will carry two conference contests which will be broadcast on CBS and stream live on Paramount+. The two games are a doubleheader on March 1. UConn plays at Providence followed by Seton Hall at St. John’s. CBS Sports Network will carry 20 contests, 16 league and four non-league battles.
This season the BIG EAST begins a new relationship with NBC Sports/Peacock, which will carry two games on the NBC broadcast network and simulstreamed on Peacock. Peacock will exclusively stream 25 regular-season games in addition to the BIG EAST Tournament First Round games and the afternoon doubleheader of the quarterfinals. The two regular-season games on NBC and Peacock Sports are Notre Dame at Georgetown on Nov. 16 and Providence at UConn on Jan. 5.
A robust nine-game schedule on Fridays includes two games on FOX, St. John’s at Providence on Dec. 20 and St. John’s at UConn on Feb. 7.
Five BIG EAST games will be played on January 11, March 1 and March 8, the final day of the regular season. FOX or FS1 will televise all five games on March 8.
Georgetown will play at Villanova on Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Jan. 20 on FS1.
For the fourth straight year, FOX Sports will provide blanket coverage of the action of the opening night of the season. On November 4, the BIG EAST Opening Night Tip-Off will include live look-ins on FS1 of eight non-conference contests. Full game coverage for all eight games will be available on the FOX Sports App.
BIG EAST basketball in 2024-25 will also be covered on the BIG EAST Digital Network Presented by Invesco QQQ. Shootaround, the BIG EAST’s live online show that captures interviews and highlights of league action, is in its eighth year. The award-winning program will air on the league’s social media platforms prior to some of the top games.
