Best TV plans for watching Kansas women’s basketball
Most Kansas women’s basketball games stream on ESPN+, with select conference showcases airing on CBS Sports Network. The Minnesota road game adds Peacock and an NBCSN simulcast, so the best viewing setup depends on how much of the schedule you want to follow.
A comprehensive live TV package with ESPN Unlimited included is the easiest way to cover most games without juggling subscriptions. You don’t need a separate ESPN plan if your TV service already includes Unlimited access. Alternatively, ESPN Select covers the Jayhawks’ ESPN+ games on its own, while a standalone ESPN Unlimited subscription adds ESPN’s live networks and women’s NCAA Tournament coverage.
A few nonconference games require additional subscriptions. Kansas’ matchup with Nebraska streams on B1G+, while the Cancun Challenge games stream on FloCollege.
