Michigan basketball has announced the tip times and TV networks for each game in its 2026-27 season.
Michigan is set to play seven times on Fox, four times on CBS and once on NBC, with five games to be
streamed on Peacock (and available on NBC Sports Network).
Michigan will appear six times on Big Ten Network and four times on FS1, while it will only play on ESPN during Thanksgiving Week when in Las Vegas for the Players Era 16 (a tournament it won last season).
Stream live sports on Peacock
Michigan also plays on TNT/TruTV/HBO Max for its national title rematch with UConn in early November.
Perhaps the best news for all involved − fans, players and yes, even media − there is only one game scheduled to tipoff after 8 p.m. EST, when the Wolverines play at UCLA at 10 p.m. ET on Jan. 26.
Below is Michigan’s entire 2026-27 basketball schedule with start times and TV channels.
[ MUST LISTEN: Make "Hail Yes!" your go-to Wolverines podcast, available anywhere you listen to podcasts (Apple, Spotify) or watch live/on demand on YouTube. ]
