How To Watch Creighton Bluejays Men’s Basketball in 2025
✦ Edited and fact-checked by Managing Editor Mike Strayer, our editorial lead with over 10 years of experience covering TV and sports.
A new core takes the court in Omaha
Last season was another banner year for Greg McDermott’s program. The Bluejays finished second in the Big East, made a run to the conference championship game, and won a round in the NCAA Tournament. Now, the team looks completely different because the veterans who defined the last few seasons—Ryan Kalkbrenner, Steven Ashworth, and Jamiya Neal—are now gone.
But the buzz in Omaha is all about the high-profile incoming transfers. McDermott landed a haul, including 2023–2024 Big Ten Rookie of the Year Owen Freeman and his Iowa teammate Josh Dix, plus reigning MEAC Player of the Year Blake Harper. The central question is how quickly this new group can gel around sophomore Jackson McAndrew, a Big East All-Freshman Team member who is expected to become the team’s next star.
For true fans, another major storyline is the “how to watch” nightmare. The new Big East media rights deal is fragmented. To get every Creighton Bluejays live stream, you will need access to FOX, FS1, the TNT/truTV channels, and two separate paid streaming subscriptions: Peacock and ESPN+. I’ve sorted through it all to build a clear plan for watching Creighton basketball in 2025–2026.
2025–2026 Creighton men’s basketball TV schedule
The new-look Bluejays will be tested immediately. The non-conference schedule is highlighted by a road trip to Gonzaga, a rivalry game at Nebraska on FS1, and two major matchups in the Players Era Men’s Championship in Las Vegas, which will air on TNT and truTV.
The Big East schedule is loaded with marquee games. The conference opener is December 17 at Xavier. Key home dates include the rematch of the 2025 Big East Final against St. John’s (February 21 on FOX), a massive Saturday night showdown with UConn (January 31 on FOX), and a late-season clash with Marquette on Peacock.
Here’s a look at how to watch every game on the 2025–2026 Creighton basketball schedule.

Best TV plans for watching Creighton men’s basketball
There is no longer a simple, one-stop shop for Creighton fans. To get 100% coverage, you need a foundational live TV service and a collection of streaming add-ons. The main channels you’ll need are FOX, FS1, TNT, and truTV. The essential standalone subscriptions are Peacock and ESPN+.
My top recommendation for the best foundational service is Hulu + Live TV. Its base package includes FOX, FS1, the Turner Sports networks (TNT and truTV), and ESPN+ in one plan. DIRECTV and YouTube TV are also strong streaming options that carry the FOX, FS1, and Turner Sports games, but you’ll have to subscribe to ESPN+ separately to get every Bluejays game.
No matter which of those services you pick, you must subscribe to Peacock (starting at $5.99/mo.) and ESPN+ (starting at $12.99/mo.) separately. This is the only way to get the 10+ exclusive Bluejays games on Peacock and the two non-conference games on ESPN+.
