How To Watch Maryland Terrapins Men’s Basketball

A look at the 2025–2026 Terrapins
I’m still processing the offseason shakeup in College Park. Just when the program re-established itself with a stunning run to the Sweet 16, we saw a sudden coaching change that brought Buzz Williams to town. It’s a massive culture shift, moving from the previous regime to Williams’ famously intense, high-energy style.
I know some fans are anxious about a transition year, but landing a top-three recruiting class softens the blow significantly. The excitement around new talents like Austin Brown and Kaden House is palpable. The departure of Derik Queen to the NBA left a hole in the paint, but I think the influx of young, athletic talent fits perfectly with the brand of basketball Williams wants to play.
I put this guide together to make sure you know exactly where to tune in as this new era unfolds.
2025–2026 Maryland men’s basketball TV schedule
Maryland is a big draw, so you are going to see them featured prominently on national television. Keep an eye out for “Super Saturday” doubleheaders on FOX and CBS, as the Terps are regulars in those high-visibility slots. The January 2 game against Oregon is particularly interesting to me, as it marks a new chapter of Big Ten rivalries.
Beyond the major networks, a large portion of the conference slate lives on the Big Ten Network (BTN). You will also find that some critical early-season and midweek conference battles are streaming exclusively, so having your login credentials ready before tip-off is smart.

Best TV plans for Maryland men’s basketball
My top recommendation for watching the Terps is Hulu + Live TV. It carries all the local channels you need—FOX and CBS—and includes the Big Ten Network in its base plan. I appreciate that they offer a limitless DVR, so if you are busy during a Tuesday night tip-off, you can record it and watch the new recruits go to work later.
In addition to a live TV provider, you must get a Peacock Premium subscription. The platform has secured exclusive rights to a variety of Big Ten games this season. If you skip this, you are going to miss out on key conference matchups that simply are not available on traditional cable.
