Where UCF games air in 2026-27

Of UCF's 31 scheduled 2026-27 games, 21 have a channel so far: 4 are on the ESPN channels, 2 need a conference network, 2 are on TNT, TBS or truTV and 13 stream only, never appearing in a channel guide at all. The other 10 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: 13 games on ESPN+ / Peacock / SECN+ are not on television. No cable package and no channel number will find them — they are streamed only.

How to watch UCF basketball without cable

UCF games air on ESPN2, ESPNU, FS1, CBS Sports Network, all of which Fubo carries. The 13 games that stream on ESPN+ / Peacock / SECN+ are not a TV channel at all — Fubo's plans include ESPN Unlimited, which covers the ESPN+ side of that. The 2 games on TNT, TBS or truTV are the exception: Fubo does not carry those channels, and YouTube TV carries all three.

Not on Fubo, or varies by market: TNT (2 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.
