Who does Michigan play in 2026-27?

ESPN currently lists 30 2026-27 games for Michigan Wolverines, opening at home against Oakland Golden Grizzlies on Nov 2. 16 are at home, 11 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 Michigan game on TNT, TBS or truTV?

Only in the NCAA tournament. The regular season runs on the ESPN channels, the conference networks, CBS, FOX and the conference streaming tiers; TNT, TBS and truTV carry their share of March Madness alongside CBS. Fubo carries CBS and none of the three Turner channels, so a live-TV plan reaches about half the bracket. This page says which it is for each game as soon as the network is assigned.
