Columbia Lions — Ivy League. Tonight's channel below, plus the full 2026-27 schedule with the network for every game that has one.
Of Columbia's 29 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 17 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+ / B1G+ are not on television. No cable package and no channel number will find them — they are streamed only.
All 29 games ESPN has scheduled so far — 16 home, 13 away, 0 at neutral sites. Channels are shown where a broadcast has been assigned as of 2026-11-12; the rest fill in through the season, and this table is rebuilt daily.

Most Columbia 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: Patriot League TV (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.

ESPN currently lists 29 2026-27 games for Columbia Lions, opening at home against Elon Phoenix on Nov 2. 16 are at home, 13 on the road and 0 at neutral sites. The full schedule is on this page and is rebuilt daily as games are added.
Not so far. TNT Sports carries some regular-season college basketball and its share of March Madness alongside CBS, but none of Columbia'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.
