BIG EAST Announces 2021-22 Women’s Basketball Schedule
FOX Sports to nationally televise 15 regular-season games, including two on FOX; BIG EAST Digital Network and FloSports to stream more than 130 contests.
NEW YORK – The BIG EAST Conference announced its 2021-22 women’s basketball schedule and extensive television lineup on Friday. FOX Sports will air a total of 22 games, including the quarterfinal, semifinal and championship games of the 2022 BIG EAST Tournament presented by JEEP at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. Of those 22 games, two will air on FOX, marking the second 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 17 during conference play. For the seventh 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 more than 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.

Six teams tip off the season on Nov. 9, while all 11 will play their first non-conference contest by Nov. 15. The opening weekend of BIG EAST play will be Dec. 3 and 5. 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 ninth 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 second consecutive year. Quarterfinal coverage on March 5 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 6 slated for 3 and 5:30 p.m., and the championship game set to tip off at 8 p.m. on March 7. The BIG EAST Digital Network will live stream all three first round games on March 4, with tip times not yet determined.

The Conference is in the ninth year of its multi-year contract with FOX Sports, which has exclusive television rights to all BIG EAST competitions. Three non-conference games are included in this year’s FOX Sports lineup, including arguably the greatest rivalry in women’s basketball history. UConn will host Tennessee on Feb. 6 on FOX; tipoff will be either noon or 1 p.m. The Huskies will face another longtime foe on FS1 in December, as Notre Dame comes to town on Dec. 5 at noon. Additionally, DePaul’s home contest against the Fighting Irish on Dec. 22 will also air on FS1, tipping off at 8:30 p.m.

In addition to the Tennessee-UConn game, FOX will air the Huskies’ tilt at Marquette on Feb. 13 at 2:30 p.m. UConn and the Golden Eagles finished 1-2 in the BIG EAST standings last year and met in the BIG EAST Tournament title game, with both teams earning NCAA Tournament berths.

Conference action on FS1 tips off on Dec. 5 when Seton Hall visits St. John’s at 2 p.m. Coverage continues on Dec. 19 with the Pirates hosting Marquette at noon. The first nationally televised contest of the New Year pits Providence at Butler on Jan. 2 at noon on FS1, before Villanova makes its debut on Jan. 14 at DePaul (6:30 p.m.) on FS2. The first of four games on CBS Sports Network this season tips off on Jan. 16 when the Wildcats visit the Golden Eagles, while DePaul at Xavier follows on Jan. 23, with both slated for 2 p.m. start times. The Blue Demons return home on Jan. 28 to host St. John’s on FS1 (7 p.m.), before closing out the month at Seton Hall on Jan. 30 for a 4:30 p.m. FS1 tilt.

Along with the two FOX tilts, five additional games will air on the FOX Sports networks in February, including Creighton at Marquette on Feb. 6 at 2 p.m. on FS1, the Golden Eagles at Villanova on FS1 on Feb. 11 at 7 p.m., and Xavier at Providence on Feb. 13 at noon on FS1. The homestretch of the regular season sees Marquette at Georgetown on Feb. 18 at 7 p.m. on FS2, before Creighton and DePaul close things out on Feb. 27 in Omaha on FS1 at noon. CBS Sports Network coverage will also include the final regular-season push as UConn at Georgetown on Feb. 20 and UConn at Providence on Feb. 27 are set to air, with tip times announced at a later date.

SNY’s lineup includes UConn’s season opener against Arkansas on Nov. 14, and 17 BIG EAST games for the Huskies. Included in that lineup is UConn’s league opener against Seton Hall on Dec. 3, a rematch of the 2021 BIG EAST title game with Marquette on Dec. 29, and both DePaul showdowns (Dec. 31, Feb. 11).

FOX Sports is also the home for out-of-market games on SNY. Out-of-market fans are able to stream the SNY games at no additional cost to authenticated subscribers. Users will need to sign in with their TV provider credentials at FOX Sports News, Scores, Schedules, Odds, Shows, Streams & Videos | FOX Sports or in the FOX Sports app.

The BIG EAST Conference previously announced an agreement with leading sports streaming service FloSports to be the home of the BIG EAST Digital Network (BEDN) presented by SoFi for the 2021-22 academic year. FloSports served as the digital home of BIG EAST women’s basketball in 2020-21, and expanded its BEDN lineup to include more than 500 Olympic sports events, as well as BIG EAST original content such as “Shootaround” and “Fast Break,” the Conference’s weekly men’s and women's basketball feature shows. FloSports offers both monthly and annual subscriptions, and as part of the expanded agreement, BIG EAST member institution student and faculty discounts will be made available.

Thank you @jpp13 and @Centerstream for posting above. So if I understand correctly, we won't get to see first two games of Battle4Atlantis on linear television since it is on Flosports, which appears to be a streaming service only. Are there fees involved to use this service? Couldn't really tell from below:

Yes, FloSports is a paid subscription service, and it's somehow gotten its claws into WCBB the last couple of years. If the first two rounds are televised there I'd be shocked if the championship game isn't as well.
 
dissapointing to see that the opener is on a channel I have no access too, even more dissapointing that it's on a Sunday when Nfl is going on. My guess is no way was Fs1 or Fox gonna bump Nfl for them which just goes to show they'll sneak in Uconn games when they don't have anything on their networks. Always playing second fiddle it seems

Seton Hall must be thrilled they are our first BE opponent again.

What better way to begin conference play? Maybe DePaul or Marquette? I would prefer to play the more competitive teams early in the season.

The men’s Battle for Atlantis will be on ESPN/ESPN2 for the first rounds and also TBD for the championship game. Maybe ESPN(2) will televise the women’s championship game.

Let's see if my math skills are still with me:
The game against Ft. Hays State doesn't count, but the 3 (if they reach the final game) at Battle for Atlantis do, no matter who UCONN plays.
So, if we include 3 BE Tournament games (assuming that UCONN will be one of the top two teams and get a first round bye, AND the Huskies get to the final game), and 6 games in the NCAA (again, assuming that UCONN reaches the final game), this year the Huskies (barring cancellations) have a shot at a 40-0 season.
Of course, they will have to play one game at a time, taking NOBODY for granted.
If they can make it happen, though, it just might take some of the sting out of 2017,2018,2019,2021.
Time to get the Final Four monkey off their backs and make the NC's an even dozen.
Hey, I'm allowed to daydream even if Geno won't permit it in the locker room.

Yes, I would think ESPN knowing the championship game will likely be UConn vs SC (or possibly Oregon) that they would want in on that one.

with the way they schedule women's sports it will be on espn +
 
I wonder how the TV part of the contact is set up. I'm surprised that UConn is on only one time on FS1. I thought the Arkansas game would have been on FS1. Three on FOX is outstanding!

Last year all SNY games were free on the Fox Sports App. I would think that will happen again this year.

Is there a nice, one page, printable version out anywhere yet? My fridge has been lonely for a long time ;)

Think we'll ever see the day when schedule and venue are released BEFORE ticket package/s are due. Request sites for games from ticket office and they plead ignorance. I get it, just annoying.

Why does the conference take so long to make the schedule? This is the sort of thing they should be able to put out by May or June at the latest.
 
Well, the games at Georgetown and Villanova (that are realistic for me to attend) are on the the 5th and the 9th of January. Would have been nice if they had been spaced out a little more. Oh well.
 
what a lousy day/time/channel for the opener against Arkansas. Should be a rowdy time playing in front of real fans in a "revenge" game...and most wont see it.
