A closer look at Baylor women’s basketball
Last season was strong for Baylor, but that ending was frustrating. A 28-win season and a second-place Big 12 finish felt great, right up until that stunning Round of 32 upset at home. After losing leading scorer Aaronette Vonleh to the WNBA, coach Nicki Collen didn’t just patch holes; she went out and signed a bona fide star. The main storyline for this team is the arrival of Auburn transfer Taliah Scott. She’s a dynamic, 20-point-per-game scorer who is a perfect fit for Collen’s high-octane offense.
Scott and her fellow transfers (Yuting Deng and Kiera Pemberton) join an already-stacked returning core, led by All-American honorable mention Darianna Littlepage-Buggs and Bella Fontleroy. The offense is expected to be explosive, which aligns with the goal of building chemistry and making a bigger splash in the NCAA Tournament.
To follow the Bears, you’ll need a mix of national channels like ABC, ESPN, and FOX, but the team’s most important home is ESPN+. I’ve put together this complete 2025–2026 streaming guide to help you watch every Baylor game, so keep scrolling for the full TV schedule and channel listings.
2025–2026 Baylor women’s basketball TV schedule
This Baylor season opens in Paris, of all places, on November 3 against Duke. Before conference play even begins, the Bears face some marquee non-conference matchups against Iowa (Nov. 20) and Texas (Dec. 14). The Big 12 regular season then gets underway on December 21.
The revamped Big 12 is one of the deepest leagues in the country, and this squad will be battle-tested long before the NCAA Tournament. They face tough nationally-televised road trips to Iowa State and West Virginia, plus high-stakes home games against TCU and Kansas State.

Best TV plans for watching Baylor women’s basketball
To watch Baylor women’s basketball, you really need ESPN+ in your TV lineup. You’ll find that in ESPN’s rebranded ESPN Select streaming service, as well as its higher-tier ESPN Unlimited offering. Both subscriptions are accessible through the ESPN app, which will carry the vast majority of the Lady Bears’ conference and non-conference games.
For the marquee national matchups, you’ll also need the linear channels: ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, FOX, and FS1. You can go the ESPN Unlimited route to get every ESPN channel. But if you want a more robust TV plan, Hulu + Live TV is my top recommendation. It includes every ESPN and FOX Sports channel, along with integrated ESPN+ coverage, making it the easiest all-in-one solution for any Baylor fan.
If you prefer a more traditional TV option, providers like Spectrum and DIRECTV also include ESPN Unlimited access, ensuring you’re still covered for those crucial ESPN+ exclusives.
How to watch Baylor women’s basketball FAQ
Where can I watch Baylor women's basketball for free?
If a Baylor game is broadcast on a national, over-the-air channel like ABC or FOX, you can watch it for free with a good digital antenna. But that's a very rare occurrence, so your best free option is to use a free trial for a live TV streaming service like Fubo or YouTube TV.
How can I stream Baylor basketball without cable?
The most complete way to watch Lady Bears basketball without cable is with a live TV streaming service like Hulu + Live TV or Stream with DIRECTV. Both options carry the core ESPN and FOX Sports national channels and offer ESPN Unlimited access when you use your provider login in the ESPN app. That's crucial for streaming any Baylor game on ESPN+.
Can I watch Baylor basketball on ESPN+?
Yes, ESPN+ is an essential service for streaming the Lady Bears. A large portion of the Big 12 women's basketball schedule, including many Baylor games, will be exclusively on ESPN+. But just a heads up: ESPN+ content is now available through ESPN Select and ESPN Unlimited.
What channels show the most Baylor women's basketball games?
You'll find most Baylor women's basketball games on ESPN+. After that, I'd say ESPN/ESPN2 come in a close second. That's why an ESPN Unlimited subscription is the most cost-effective way to watch the Lady Bears, but you'll still need access to non-ESPN channels like FS1.
