FRISCO, Texas – With the 2018-19 basketball beginning Tuesday, the Southland Conference has released its full television schedule featuring 188 broadcasts across the ESPN Networks, Eleven Sports and various other platforms. For the fourth consecutive year, coverage will also be provided for each men’s and women’s contest in the Southland Conference Tournament, set to take place March 13-16 at the Leonard E. Merrell Center in Katy, Texas.

“We are once again very excited to announce an expanding broadcast schedule for the Southland Conference,” league Commissioner Tom Burnett said. “The competitive success of Southland basketball in recent years and development of new broadcast opportunities is a great match, and we are proud to be able to share this with so many viewers through numerous networks, channels and platforms.”

Throughout the 2018-19 regular season, men’s and women’s basketball contests will air across the ESPN platform with 45 games streamed on ESPN3 and 52 contests appearing on ESPN+, with additional games set to be added in the season’s final three weeks. Selections for Feb. 23, March 2 and March 9 will be made 12 days prior to tip-off. Match-ups on ESPN3 and ESPN+ will be available via ESPN.com and ESPN apps.  Additionally, three games involving Southland teams will air nationally on ESPNU.

Eleven Sports enters its second year of Southland coverage, broadcasting 10 contests throughout the regular season, including three “wild card” selections in the season’s final month. Broadcasts are available nationwide on DirecTV 623. All Eleven Sports productions will also be streamed on the Southland Digital Network, which can be accessed on Southland.org/live and Southland Conference apps.

Early rounds of the Southland Tournament will be covered exclusively by ESPN+, a premium multi-sport, direct-to-consumer subscription streaming service from The Walt Disney Company’s Direct-to-Consumer and International group in conjunction with ESPN. The men’s championship will be carried live nationally by ESPN2, while the women’s title game is set for live nationwide coverage on CBS Sports Network.

Throughout the non-conference portion of the men’s and women’s basketball seasons, Southland member schools will also be featured on Fox Sports Networks, SEC Network, the Big Ten Network and a variety of other broadcast entities.
Additional broadcasts may be added to the schedule at a later date.
