Big Ten Sets Tipoff Times and Television Designations for 2025-26 Men’s Basketball Season

2025-26 Schedule

ROSEMONT, Ill. -- Tipoff times and television broadcast designations have been set for the 2025-26 Penn State men's basketball season, as announced by the Big Ten Tuesday afternoon.

Penn State is set to appear on Big Ten Network (BTN), FS1, Peacock and truTV throughout the regular season. Every televised game on the Big Ten Network and FS1 can be streamed nation-wide via the web, smartphones, tablets and connected devices on the FOX Sports app. Peacock, the streaming service of NBC, features select, premium and premium plus plans, starting at $8 a month.

The Nittany Lions enter their third season under Peter and Ann Tombros Endowed Head Coach Mike Rhoades in 2025-26. Rhoades has laid a strong foundation during his first two seasons and welcomes back key returnees, a top-30 recruiting class and experienced international players for the 2025-26 season. Rhoades orchestrated the highest-scoring offense in Penn State history in 2024-25 as the Nittany Lions set a single-season program record with 79.1 points per game during his second season at the helm.
