How to watch Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball games this season

The Champions Classic on Nov. 8 against Michigan State and the Vegas Showdown on Nov. 26 will be broadcasted on ESPN. ESPN will eventually air other Kansas basketball contests on the channel, including ESPN2 and ESPNU.

ESPN and the Big 12 have been utilizing the Big 12 Now service on ESPN+ in recent years. Kansas and other schools in the conference must utilize ESPN+ to air 10 of its games per season. Usually, they are nonconference games against lesser-known schools that would not warrant a national broadcast — an example would be Howard or Oakland early in the season.

Jayhawk fans might want to invest in an ESPN+ subscription in November and December until league play arrives. The team's two scrimmages vs. Washburn and John Calipari's Arkansas Razorbacks will be hosted on Big 12 Now. ESPN+ streams Late Night in the Phog, but you can view it on Facebook Watch through the Kansas Jayhawks Facebook page as well.

Every year, conference play TV schedules are released during the season. Most games will be aired on a national ESPN station, but CBS and ABC often air conference games. Ultimately, ESPN+ will air 10 Kansas basketball games this year, and national ESPN networks should host at least 15 or more. More information should be released to the public next month when the regular season commences.
