Where UNLV games air in 2026-27

Of UNLV's 31 scheduled 2026-27 games, 7 have a channel so far: 1 is on the ESPN channels, 1 needs a conference network, 1 streams only, never appearing in a channel guide at all and 4 are on another carrier. The other 24 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: 1 game on ESPN+ is not on television. No cable package and no channel number will find it — it is streamed only.

How to watch UNLV basketball without cable

UNLV games air on CBS Sports Network, ESPN, all of which Fubo carries. The 1 game that streams on ESPN+ is 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: MW+ (3 games), CW (1 game). 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 UNLV play in 2026-27?

ESPN currently lists 31 2026-27 games for UNLV Rebels, opening at home against Northern Arizona Lumberjacks on Nov 3. 17 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 UNLV 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 UNLV'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.
