How to watch West Virginia basketball without cable

West Virginia games air on ESPN2, FS1, CBS, ESPN and others, all of which Fubo carries. The 9 games that stream on ESPN+ / Peacock are not a TV channel at all — Fubo's plans include ESPN Unlimited, which covers the ESPN+ side of that. The game on TNT, TBS or truTV is the exception: Fubo does not carry those channels, and YouTube TV carries all three.

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