Big Ten Conference unveils 2023-24 men's basketball TV schedule

The Big Ten Conference released its 2023-24 broadcast schedule Tuesday, listing all of the times and channels for each team in the league.

“The Big Ten announced the start times and television designations for the 2023-24 men’s basketball conference schedule on Tuesday, which include all 140 contests set to be broadcast nationally,” the release read. “The conference also revealed tip times and network assignments for select non-conference games.”

The Big Ten schedule begins December 1 after a bevy of non-conference tilts for each member of the league.

Following a holiday break, Big Ten play will resume January 2 and the men’s basketball tournament is set for March 13-17 at the Target Center in Minneapolis.

“The 2023 basketball season marks the first with a new set of broadcast partners that will deliver exciting matchups to fans across broadcast, cable and direct-to-consumer platforms. In addition to broadcast platforms CBS and FOX, the Big Ten Network and FS1 will continue to carry games on cable networks,” the release read. “NBCUniversal’s direct-to-consumer platform, Peacock, will also carry Big Ten games live for the first time.”

Big Ten Network will have Maryland at Indiana to open the conference schedule at 7:00 p.m. ET on December 1, followed by a meeting of Purdue at Northwestern at 9:00 p.m. ET

As far as the other networks, they’ll have their debuts a few days later.

“Peacock’s initial conference games take place on Tuesday, Dec. 5, with Michigan State playing host to Wisconsin and Indiana visiting Michigan,” the release said. “Games are scheduled for 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., respectively. FOX Sports will debut conference action this season with Illinois making the trip to Purdue on Jan. 5 at 8:30 p.m. ET on FS1.

“CBS Sports will present a total of 15 Big Ten games on CBS and Paramount+, including its first conference match-up of the season with Maryland hosting Michigan State on Jan. 21 at 12 p.m. ET.”

The conference tournament will get a little bit of a television facelift as well. Peacock gets the opening two games of the tournament, with second round and quarterback final games on BTN.

CBS Sports gets the semifinals and finals as usual.
