The NBA is on national TV every night through Saturday, including Detroit at New York on NBC tonight and two ESPN games Wednesday. College basketball opens Sunday in Rome, where No. 13 Notre Dame faces Villanova on FS1 after the men's teams tip on FOX. Most AP Top 25 men's teams tip Monday, Nov. 2, outside this guide.
All times are Eastern, and listings were checked Tuesday, Oct. 27. NBA rows below are national broadcasts only (NBC, Peacock, ESPN, NBA TV and Prime Video). Start times and networks can change. Sunday afternoon CBS and FOX games depend on your local market, so a network listed next to a game does not mean every affiliate will carry it. Games marked "if necessary" happen only if the series is still going.
