Want to watch every Gophers basketball game? You’ll need 6 different TV, streaming services

Buckle up, Gophers basketball fans. You’re going to need access to more than a handful of television and streaming services to watch every Minnesota men’s basketball game this season.

On Tuesday, the Gophers released the TV assignments for the 34-game slate, including 32 regular-season contests and two exhibitions. In perfect 2026 fashion, they will play on six different channels or streaming providers, and two games are undecided.

Big Ten Network+ (BTN+)

As of Oct. 6, the annual price for BTN+ is $89.99. If you want just a monthly pass, it’s $12.99. The Gophers will have four home games on the streaming service this season: the first exhibition against Omaha, the regular-season opener against North Dakota, and two more nonconference games against Southern and UTSA.

Peacock/NBC Sports Network (NBCSN)

A basic Peacock subscription does not include live sports, and the premium plan costs $12.99/month or $129.99/year. The Premium Plus plan with no ads costs $19.99/month or $199.99/year. NBCSN officially returns in 2025, and it is included in the majority of cable packages, so you wouldn’t need a Peacock subscription if your service carries the channel.

The Gophers’ highly anticipated nonconference game with St. Thomas will be on Peacock or NBCSN, along with their Big Ten home opener against Illinois, a road game against UCLA, and a late-February home test against Northwestern.

Friday, Nov. 6: vs. St. Thomas

Tuesday, Dec. 8: vs. Illinois

Sunday, Feb. 21: vs. Northwestern

ESPN+

Arguably, Minnesota’s biggest nonconference matchup in years against Cincinnati on the road didn’t even get a TV network. Syracuse-Indiana is currently the only other confirmed power conference vs. power conference matchup for that night, but I guess Minnesota-Cincinnati couldn’t draw ESPN, BTN, FS1, or NBCSN.
