WASHINGTON – The 2026-27 Atlantic 10 Conference men’s basketball schedule will have 148 national media appearances for the league’s 14 members across 77 nationally televised games. The A10 announced its 126-game conference schedule and TV selections for the upcoming season on Tuesday. All games not available on linear platforms will again stream exclusively on ESPN+.
 
Including the 64 regular-season games, the 2026-27 season will mark the ninth straight year that every home game will be available to A10 fans across the league’s three media partners—ESPN, CBS Sports, and USA Network—either on television or through streaming platforms. The schedule marks the third year of five-year agreements with all three partners.

“I want to thank our three television partners, CBS Sports, ESPN and USA Sports, for their efforts to create a strong schedule that showcases the outstanding matchups and historic rivalries that make this conference what it is,” said Atlantic 10 Commissioner Dan Leibovitz. “We are extremely excited about the A10 men’s basketball season that lies ahead.”
 
The schedule concludes with the Atlantic 10 Men's Basketball Tournament final on CBS for the 18th straight year as a part of the network’s overall “Selection Sunday” coverage. The game will also stream live on Paramount+. CBS Sports Network will again provide coverage of semifinal Saturday. USA Sports will carry the Tournament’s first and second rounds as well as the quarterfinals on USA Network and CNBC, providing tip-to-buzzer coverage of all 13 games of the 2027 Tournament on linear television. This year’s A10 Tournament will take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

The 2026-27 conference season begins with a full seven-game slate involving all 14 teams on Wednesday, December 30. Through the course of the regular season, there will be 57 televised conference games, and each of the league’s 14 teams will make multiple appearances on national TV.

CBS and CBS Sports Network will carry 29 games, 26 coming during the regular season and then the two A10 Tournament semifinals (on CBS Sports Network) and final (on CBS and Paramount+). CBS Sports Network will host A10 doubleheaders six times during the regular season, the first coming on Wednesday, Jan. 6 and a trio of them coming at the end of the regular season on Tuesday, Feb. 23; Saturday, Feb. 27; and Tuesday, March 2. Another of the twinbills comes on Monday, Jan. 18, when CBS Sports Network returns its coverage of the Atlantic 10’s Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day games with a doubleheader featuring VCU at Saint Joseph’s and George Mason at George Washington.

Additionally, CBS Sports Network will again produce and air four episodes of its popular college basketball show, “Inside College Basketball,” dedicated exclusively to Atlantic 10 coverage for the tenth straight year. Branded “Inside College Basketball: A10 Tip-Off,” the show will air prior to selected conference games. CBS Sports Network, the 24-hour home of CBS Sports, is widely available through all major cable, satellite and telco distributors as well as via OTT streaming service providers YouTube TV, fuboTV, DirecTV and Hulu. Additionally, a live CBS Sports Network stream is available through CBSSports.com and the CBS Sports App by authenticating with select providers.

ESPN continues its A10 Friday Night Showcase coverage for the 12th straight year, with eight Friday primetime conference games. The first of those games takes place on January 22, when Saint Louis heads to Dayton, tipping off a run of seven straight Friday nights with A10 games that includes a doubleheader on February 19 (Saint Joseph’s at Dayton, Saint Louis at VCU). Overall, ESPN will carry a total of 10 games across its networks, sprinkling in two Saturday games—on January 9 (VCU at George Washington) and February 6 (George Washington at George Mason)—among the Friday night package. All games not carried as part of the A10’s national television packages will stream live on ESPN+, and all A10 games across linear ESPN networks will also be available via the ESPN App, accessible on computers, smartphones, tablets and connected devices via ESPN DTC or to fans who receive their Pay TV subscription from an affiliated provider.

The USA Sports schedule will feature 31 total games on USA Network—21 regular-season matchups and 10 from the A10 Tournament at Barclays Center. USA Sports’ A10 conference coverage begins with a tripleheader on Saturday, Jan. 2 with Dayton at Davidson, George Mason at Rhode Island, and Duquesne at VCU. USA Network will then present two A10 games every Saturday through the rest of the regular season, concluding on March 6 ahead of the A10 Tournament.
