Where Western Michigan games air in 2026-27

Of Western Michigan's 31 scheduled 2026-27 games, 13 have a channel so far: 1 needs a conference network and 12 stream only, never appearing in a channel guide at all. The other 18 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: 12 games on ESPN+ are not on television. No cable package and no channel number will find them — they are streamed only.

Who does Western Michigan play in 2026-27?

Is the Western Michigan 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 Western Michigan'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.
