Where Memphis games air in 2026-27

Of Memphis's 31 scheduled 2026-27 games, 13 have a channel so far: 6 are on the ESPN channels, 1 needs a conference network and 6 stream only, never appearing in a channel guide at all. The other 18 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: 6 games on ESPN+ / SECN+ are not on television. No cable package and no channel number will find them — they are streamed only.

Who does Memphis play in 2026-27?

ESPN currently lists 31 2026-27 games for Memphis Tigers, opening against Iowa State Cyclones at a neutral site on Nov 2. 16 are at home, 12 on the road and 3 at neutral sites. The full schedule is on this page and is rebuilt daily as games are added.

Is the Memphis 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 Memphis'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.
