Here’s how to watch Xavier Musketeers basketball during 2024-25 season

The start of the 2024-25 college basketball season is just over a month away and you’ll be able to watch the Xavier Musketeers on multiple networks this year.

Xavier announced its times and broadcast coverage for the 2024-25 season on Wednesday.

In total, Xavier will play 18 games on FS1, four on FOX National, three on CBS Sports Network and three on Peacock.

Xavier’s four games on FOX National are all against NCAA Tournament teams from a year ago. The Musketeers will be on national television for both contests against Marquette and home matchups against reigning champion UConn and Creighton.

The Big East’s current deal with Fox Sports will expire after this season and the new six-year agreement will begin during the 2025-26 season with coverage on Fox Sports, NBC Sports and TNT Sports.

Though the deal won’t begin until after this academic year, Peacock will begin its Big East basketball coverage this season with a 25-game package that includes three Xavier games.
