Get ready, basketball fans! The West Coast Conference (WCC) has just unveiled the game times for its nationally televised men's basketball matchups, and the schedule is packed with exciting contests. This announcement means you can start planning your viewing parties!
The WCC is partnering with major networks to bring you the best college basketball action. A whopping 29 games will be broadcast nationally, with 17 on the ESPN family of networks and 12 on CBS Sports Network.
ESPN will be your go-to source for WCC basketball, with games scheduled on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Most of these games, 16 to be exact, will air on either ESPN or ESPN2, while one special game will be featured on ESPNU.
Rivalry matchups are always a highlight, and this season is no exception. Keep an eye out for the Gonzaga and Saint Mary's clashes, both of which will be showcased on ESPN. The first showdown is set for Saturday, January 31st, in Spokane at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN. The rematch in Moraga will take place on the final day of the regular season, Saturday, February 28th, also at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN. And here's a scheduling treat: on Saturday, January 14th, you can catch WCC action on both ESPN and ESPN2 simultaneously! Gonzaga at Santa Clara will air on ESPN at 7:30 p.m., while Saint Mary's at Pacific will be on ESPN2 at 7:30 p.m.
But here's where it gets exciting: On Thursday, January 8th, the WCC action will follow ESPN's coverage of the College Football Playoff Semifinals, with Gonzaga hosting Santa Clara at 8:30 p.m. on ESPN2.
CBS Sports Network is also stepping up to the plate, broadcasting 12 conference games. These games will air on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Two Gonzaga games will be on CBS Sports Network: at Washington State on January 15th (7 p.m.) and versus San Francisco on January 24th (5 p.m.). The rivalry between San Francisco and Santa Clara will also be highlighted on CBS Sports Network, with games on January 28th at Santa Clara (8 p.m.) and February 21st at San Francisco (7 p.m.). The regular season concludes with a doubleheader on CBS Sports Network on Saturday, February 28th, starting with San Francisco at Pacific (3 p.m.) and Oregon State at Santa Clara (5 p.m.).
And this is the part most people miss... CBS Sports Network is widely available through major cable, satellite, and telco distributors, as well as streaming services like YouTube TV, fuboTV, DirecTV, and Hulu. You can also stream CBS Sports Network live via CBSSports.com and the CBS Sports App, provided you have a subscription with a participating provider.
For games not on ESPN or CBS Sports Network, you can catch the action on ESPN+, the leading sports streaming service. However, keep in mind that blackout restrictions may apply in certain local markets. All games televised on an ESPN network will also be available on ESPN's direct-to-consumer service and the ESPN app.
Looking back at the previous season, multiple WCC teams earned NCAA selections for the sixth consecutive tournament and the 11th time in the last 13 events. Saint Mary's and Gonzaga received bids into the 2025 NCAA Tournament collectively for the fourth straight year. The WCC also tied a conference record with six men's basketball teams selected to participate in the postseason.
