South Dakota Basketball: What Channel Is the Game On?

Where South Dakota games air in 2026-27

Of South Dakota's 32 scheduled 2026-27 games, 10 have a channel so far: 2 need a conference network, 4 stream only, never appearing in a channel guide at all and 4 are on another carrier. The other 22 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: 4 games on ESPN+ are not on television. No cable package and no channel number will find them — they are streamed only.

How to watch South Dakota basketball without cable

South Dakota games air on Big Ten Network, all of which Fubo carries. The 4 games that stream on ESPN+ 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: Summit League Network (4 games), Midco Sports Plus (4 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 South Dakota play in 2026-27?

Is the South Dakota 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 South Dakota'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.
