Valpo Announces Basketball Start Times, Broadcast Information

 
The Valparaiso University Department of Athletics has announced start times and broadcast information for the 2025-2026 basketball season.
 
All seven regular-season men's basketball nonconference home games will be streamed on ESPN+, as will the nonconference road games at Cleveland State and Marquette. The game at Kentucky will be streamed on SECN+, while the game at Northwestern will air on Peacock.
 
The men's basketball game on Feb. 12 at Illinois State has been selected for regional television distribution on the MVC-TV Network. Eight other conference games are under consideration for national or regional television distribution, as the conference and its television partners will utilize a wildcard selection process for those dates, with television designations and start times being announced two weeks prior to the contest.
 
All men's conference games, both home and road, that do not air on linear television will air on ESPN+. All women's home games plus all conference games (home and road) will air on ESPN+.
 
Unless television alters the start times of select games, men's basketball home game times will be 7 p.m. on week nights, 2 p.m. on Saturdays and 1 p.m. on Sundays. Full details on men's basketball start times and broadcast information are available here, while women's start times are available here.
 
WVUR student radio broadcasters, led by Jack Hutter and Eli Conklin, will handle the radio play-by-play for women's games and home men's games. Todd Ickow and Brandon Vickrey will have the hometown radio call for road men's games again this season. Ickow and Jamie Stangel will call all home men's games on ESPN+, while Brian Jennings and Renee' Turpa return to call home women's games on ESPN+. The production team for home basketball games on ESPN+ is led by Corwin Leverich. 
 
No video stream will be available for the men's or women's home exhibition games, but radio broadcasts of those preseason contests will be available.
