10/15/2026 11:01:00 AM | Men's Basketball
SAN BRUNO, Calif. — The West Coast Conference, along with its broadcast partners at CBS and ESPN, officially announced the WCC games selected to be nationally televised with the Gaels slated to have 15 of their 32 regular season contests nationally televised. This is the eighth consecutive year that the Gaels have had double-digit regular season games selected to be nationally televised.
In total, the Gaels will have six contests on an ESPN network (ESPN2 or ESPNU) headlined by ESPN2 contests against 2026 NCAA Tournament foes in Saint Louis (Nov. 20) and Santa Clara (Jan. 30 in Moraga and Feb. 27 in Santa Clara). Other games on ESPN networks include Jan. 27 at San Francisco, Feb. 6 at Seattle U and Feb. 9 vs. San Francisco. The Credit Union 1 West Coast Conference Men's Basketball Championship will also have contests on ESPN networks.
Six more Gaels contests will air on CBS Sports Network, including a marquee road matchup in the Pit against New Mexico (Dec. 12). The Gaels will also have their WCC opener air on CBSSN, as they host San Diego (Jan. 2). Other contests on CBSSN include Jan. 20 vs. Pacific, Feb. 3 at Portland, Feb. 13 at LMU and Feb. 18 at Pacific.
While the majority of the Gaels' conference contests will be on either an ESPN network or CBS Sports Network, Saint Mary's will have a chance to showcase their play on both TNT and the FOX networks in non-conference play. The Rady Children's Invitational will take place on Nov. 26 and 27, and will pit the Gaels against UCLA in the opener on FS1, before Saint Mary's will take on either Georgetown or Texas on Friday on FOX. The Gaels will then play a road game in Stillwater, taking on the Cowboys of Oklahoma State on Dec. 5 on TNT.
