Kansas basketball unveiled their television schedule for the 2026-27 season on Tuesday. The newly released schedule includes network channels and tipoff times for each game throughout the season.
KU will open the season with an exhibition versus Pitt State as part of Late Night this year on Friday, Oct. 16. The events for Late Night begin at 2 p.m. CT, while the exhibition will start at 7 p.m. and be aired live on ESPN+.
The Pitt State game is one of three exhibitions for KU this year along with matchups versus Louisville and Duke – two teams projected to be two of the best in the country this year.
The Louisville game takes place Wednesday, Oct. 21, inside Allen Fieldhouse at 6 p.m. CT (ESPNU). The Duke exhibition will also take place at Allen Fieldhouse beginning at noon CT on Sunday, Oct. 25. That game will be aired live on ESPN.
KU's contest versus Kentucky in the Champions Classic will be aired on ESPN as usual. That game takes place at 8:30 p.m. CT on Nov. 10 at the United Center in Chicago.
The Jayhawks will also play on ESPN for their opening round game of the Players Era Tournament in Las Vegas. The first game of the tournament for KU is against UNLV at 8:30 p.m. CT on Nov. 17.
KU will have several nationally televised games once Big 12 play begins in early January, including their game at BYU on Jan. 9 (ESPN), at Houston on Feb. 1 (ESPN), and at home versus Texas Tech on Feb. 6 (ESPN) – just to name a few.
