UConn Men's 2025-2026 Basketball Schedule TV/Times Announced

[UConnTrumbull]

9 different channels for a blue blood seems outrageous and criminal. Its like we have no home.

The Big East media deal is looking worse and worse. Barely a raise and went from nearly 100% linear TV to 67% on a million different stations

8 p-cocks. Woopi woopi wow. screw that

Usually they offer a year for 20-25 bucks around Black Friday. You would miss the UMass Lowell game if you wait til then, if you don’t mind.

I’m doubting that will happen again. They just raised the price to 110 from 79. Might be better off paying 11/month for 4 months

St John’s on peacock exclusive is a fireable offense

Selling games to a streaming only outlet entirely is a fireable offense. Like I don't subscribe to enough streaming platforms already, now UConn is forcing me to subscribe to another for four months

 

[DRBackup]

How many of these, if any, would not be available on Youtube TV? Sorry if that’s a dumb question. Just covering my bases.

The Peacock games, at a minimum, but probably the ESPN+ game and the NBC Sports Boston game.

 

[Leebo]

Wow, this is horrendous. I already had enough trouble watching the peacock game last year and now I have to come up with a way to do that 8 times? Ridiculous.

I realize they don't care about people like me who don't live in the US, but it's crazy that it's only getting harder to follow from abroad.

Home game vs St John's being relegated to a Wednesday night PBA game only available on Peacock is so gross. I don't have a single nice thing to say about Val Ackerman.

Not sure this is a Val Ackerman problem, though she is terrible. It seems to be an increasing trend that the best teams and games are being put on streaming services across all the conferences

Here are some peacock discounts if you happen to fall into these categories:

Teacher 3.99 month
Military 3.99 month
Medical & First Responder 3.99 month
Student 2.99 month
Young adult (18-24) 2.99 month

It's also free if you have a walmart+ or instacart + membership. You can get an instacart+ membership free for 3 months if you have certain chase credit cards. You have to remember to cancel or you'll be charged 99.99. Seems like a hassle.
I will probably pay for it through one of my kids to get the student discount.

NBCU paid a bunch of money to get some of the Big East inventory to drive subscriptions to Peacock.

They get second pick.

If you were trying to get people to sign up, would you use DePaul-Xavier or UConn-St. John’s?

That was my first reaction . I get that streaming is the future ( or present) but putting a marquee game on a network without max exposure hurts the product

 

[CL82]

Anyone have a peacock deal?

Yes, I can let you have a gently used peacock for about $275.

 

[Mets1432]

Is it against the rules to share the streaming site I will be using for most of those peacock games? I'll be happy to post in this thread but don't want to risk a ban. Not familiar with the rules on (pirate) streaming sites.

 

[Kolumbo]

or just list the UConn games. I believe Illinois is Nov 28, not 29

Walmart+ allows you to select either Peacock Premium OR Paramount+ Essential, and you can switch every 90 days.

Then the league can return the NBC money.

I’m sure you’re right but did the conference ever disclose how much? The last media deal was barely a raise from the previous one. Then they threw in a bunch of stations like NBC/TNT (some espn+). Just kind of sounds like Val is getting played by the networks.

Nope.

Yes.

 

[DSquiz]

The last media deal was barely a raise from the previous one.

It went from $42 to 80 million a year. That’s nearly double.

I understand the economic need but doubt regular season games move the needle that much

 

[UConnTrumbull]

It went from $42 to 80 million a year. That’s nearly double.

The math works out to be 7.2 million per school but I’m pretty certain the schools did not double their earnings. IIRC it was like 6.5 million to 7.2?

Now take into account inflation.

The previous contract was back loaded. So schools made less in the beginning and more in the end. But in total it was still a 12 year $500 million deal vs a 6 year $480 million deal.

There are also other revenue streams like tournament credits but those are the apples to apples numbers.

They don’t. That’s why they’re more streaming than linear.
