Where Valparaiso games air in 2026-27

Of Valparaiso's 31 scheduled 2026-27 games, 12 have a channel so far: 1 needs a conference network, 9 stream only, never appearing in a channel guide at all and 2 are on another carrier. The other 19 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: 9 games on ESPN+ are not on television. No cable package and no channel number will find them — they are streamed only.

How to watch Valparaiso basketball without cable

Valparaiso games air on Big Ten Network, all of which Fubo carries. The 9 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 (1 game), Midco Sports Plus (1 game), YouTube (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 Valparaiso play in 2026-27?

Is the Valparaiso 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 Valparaiso'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.
