Where Buffalo games air in 2026-27

Of Buffalo's 31 scheduled 2026-27 games, 12 have a channel so far: 11 stream only, never appearing in a channel guide at all and 1 is on another carrier. The other 19 games have no channel yet — college basketball windows are assigned by the conferences and networks through the season, and this page updates daily as they land.

The part that catches people out: 11 games on ESPN+ / ACCNX are not on television. No cable package and no channel number will find them — they are streamed only.

How to watch Buffalo basketball without cable

Most Buffalo games will land on the ESPN channels, a conference network or a conference streaming tier once the windows are set. Fubo carries ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNews, CBS Sports Network, ACC Network, SEC Network, Big Ten Network, FS1, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and its plans include ESPN Unlimited, which covers the ESPN direct-to-consumer games a lot of college basketball ends up on. What it does not carry is TNT, TBS or truTV, which have some regular-season games and half of March Madness. YouTube TV carries all three.

Not on Fubo, or varies by market: YES (1 game). We won't tell you a plan covers a channel when it doesn't, and local broadcast availability depends on your ZIP, which Fubo confirms at signup.

Who does Buffalo play in 2026-27?

ESPN currently lists 31 2026-27 games for Buffalo Bulls, opening away at Marshall Thundering Herd on Nov 2. 15 are at home, 15 on the road and 1 at neutral sites. The full schedule is on this page and is rebuilt daily as games are added.

Is the Buffalo game on TNT, TBS or truTV?

Not so far. TNT Sports carries some regular-season college basketball and its share of March Madness alongside CBS, but none of Buffalo's games with a channel assigned is on TNT, TBS or truTV yet. Fubo carries CBS and none of the three Turner channels, so a Fubo plan reaches about half the bracket; YouTube TV carries all three. This page names the channel for every game as soon as it is assigned.
