The channel for the KU game depends on which Kansas game you mean today, since KU games are split across several networks and streaming services throughout the season.

Most common channels for KU games

For men’s basketball in the 2025–26 season, games are typically on:

  • CBS for some Big 12 and featured national games (for example, a home game vs Cincinnati is listed on CBS).
  • ESPN networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU) for many Big 12 matchups, including a home game vs Houston on ESPN.
  • Peacock / NBC platform for certain road conference games such as at Oklahoma State.
  • ESPN+ for other KU events and some non‑marquee games, especially baseball, softball, and some basketball dates.

How to see today’s exact channel

Because the opponent and date determine the exact listing, you’ll need to check one of these for today’s KU game:

  1. The official KU “Live Events” or schedule page, which lists each game with its TV column and streaming link.
  1. The Kansas team page schedule on ESPN, which has a TV column for each date (e.g., showing Peacock or CBS).
  1. Your cable/satellite/streaming guide by searching “Kansas Jayhawks” around tipoff time.

Quick example

For a Saturday slate listed by KU Athletics, a noon men’s basketball game vs Cincinnati is on CBS, while a later women’s game vs Kansas State is on ESPN+.

If you tell me the opponent and date (or whether it’s men’s or women’s basketball), I can narrow down exactly which channel carries that KU game today.
