You can watch Michigan State (MSU) men’s basketball through a mix of national TV channels, conference networks, and live-streaming services, depending on the specific game and date.

Main ways to watch MSU basketball

  • Big Ten Network (BTN) – Many regular-season conference games air on BTN, with streams available in the BTN app or via providers that carry BTN.
  • Major national channels – Games are often on ESPN, ESPN2, FOX, FS1, CBS, NBC, or ABC during the season and in March.
  • Conference/partner streaming apps – Some games stream on services tied to those channels, such as Peacock (for NBC games) and B1G+ for certain Big Ten events.

Streaming services that usually carry MSU games

These services aggregate the channels that frequently show MSU:

  • YouTube TV – Includes ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, BTN, CBS, NBC, FOX and others that regularly carry college basketball.
  • Fubo – Markets itself for sports and offers ESPN networks, FS1, BTN and more, with specific Michigan State game listings.
  • Other live TV streaming bundles (like those that include ESPN, FOX, CBS, BTN, NBC) can also work, as long as they carry the game’s listed channel.

How to find today’s MSU game

  1. Go to the official MSU athletics site schedule/coverage page and check the men’s basketball listing for today’s opponent , tip time , and TV/stream info.
  1. Note whether it says BTN, CBS, FOX, NBC/Peacock, ESPN, FS1, or B1G+.
  2. Open the corresponding channel or app (cable/satellite, live TV streaming service, or app like Peacock/B1G+) at tip time and search for the game.

Cord-cutters and out-of-market fans

  • A live TV streaming service with BTN plus the big sports channels (ESPN family, FOX, CBS, NBC) is usually the simplest single solution for the whole season.
  • For select marquee games that land on broadcast channels like ABC or CBS, an over‑the‑air antenna can work if you’re within range of local stations.
