Inaugural BIG EAST Women’s Basketball Schedule Announced by TNT Sports

ByCoach

TNT Sports and the BIG EAST Conference are teaming up for their first-ever women’s regular season basketball coverage starting in the 2025-26 season. Things get rolling on Wednesday, November 12, when the defending NCAA National Champion UConn Huskies face off against Loyola Chicago.

That opener airs on truTV and HBO Max at 7:30 p.m. ET. It’s a pretty big deal for women’s sports, with fans getting an impressive lineup of 15 games that showcase top teams and standout players from the BIG EAST Conference.

UConn Huskies: A Season to Watch

Sarah Strong and Azzi Fudd lead the UConn Huskies, and they’ll be hard to miss with eight appearances on TNT Sports’ networks and platforms. One of the season’s can’t-miss games is their conference clash with the Creighton Bluejays on Sunday, January 11 at 2 p.m. on truTV and HBO Max.

That matchup stands out because it’s the only time last season’s two seeded BIG EAST teams from the NCAA Tournament go head-to-head.

  • At DePaul on Wednesday, February 4 at 8 p.m. on truTV and HBO Max
  • St. John’s twice: Wednesday, January 7 at 7:30 p.m. on truTV and HBO Max, and wrapping up the regular season on Sunday, March 1 on TNT, truTV, and HBO Max

Creighton Bluejays: A Team on the Rise

Creighton comes in hot after its best two years ever, but now with a fresh roster—seven new faces. They’ll show up six times this season, starting with a Sunday, December 28 game against Georgetown at 6 p.m. on truTV and HBO Max.

That one closes out the network’s doubleheader for the day.
