Where California games air in 2026-27

Of California's 32 scheduled 2026-27 games, 31 have a channel so far: 4 are on the ESPN channels, 12 need a conference network, 9 stream only, never appearing in a channel guide at all and 6 are on another carrier. The other 1 game has 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: 9 games on ACCNX / Peacock are not on television. No cable package and no channel number will find them — they are streamed only.

How to watch California basketball without cable

California games air on ACC Network, ESPN2, ESPNU, Big Ten Network, all of which Fubo carries. The 9 games that stream on ACCNX / Peacock are not a TV channel at all — Fubo's plans include ESPN Unlimited, which covers the ESPN+ side of that.

Not on Fubo, or varies by market: CW (6 games). 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 California play in 2026-27?

ESPN currently lists 32 2026-27 games for California Golden Bears, opening at home against Adams State Grizzlies on Nov 2. 20 are at home, 10 on the road and 2 at neutral sites. The full schedule is on this page and is rebuilt daily as games are added.

Is the California 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 California'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.
