Who does Wisconsin play in 2026-27?

ESPN currently lists 31 2026-27 games for Wisconsin Badgers, opening at home against Denver Pioneers on Nov 2. 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin'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.
