Where Rutgers games air in 2026-27

Of Rutgers's 30 scheduled 2026-27 games, 30 have a channel so far: 2 are on the ESPN channels, 22 need a conference network and 6 stream only, never appearing in a channel guide at all. Every game on the schedule has a channel.

The part that catches people out: 6 games on B1G+ / Peacock are not on television. No cable package and no channel number will find them — they are streamed only.

Who does Rutgers play in 2026-27?

Is the Rutgers 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 Rutgers'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.
