How To Watch Oklahoma Sooners Women’s Basketball in 2025-2026

A closer look at Oklahoma women’s basketball
Oklahoma’s inaugural season in the SEC was a success. A 27–8 overall record and a Sweet 16 appearance are nothing to sneeze at for a team that finished first in the Big 12 the prior season.
The 2025–2026 Sooners want to build on that, but they’re doing it a bit unconventionally in the transfer portal era. Fifth-year coach Jennie Baranczyk actually didn’t use the portal in the offseason. Instead, she recruited 5-star point guard phenom Aaliyah Chavez. She’ll join the veteran core of Raegan Beers, Payton Verhulst, Sahara Williams, and Zya Vann.
Fans will want to keep up with this sure-to-be-electrifying Sooners squad. Unfortunately, the TV situation is kinda complicated because of how many different networks you’ll need to watch every game. But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with this guide, where I’ll tell you exactly what channels you’ll need and the easiest way to get them.
2025–2026 Oklahoma women’s basketball TV schedule
The Jennie Baranczyk era enters its fifth season, tipping off on Monday, November 3, at home against Belmont. The conference schedule features matchups against powerhouses like UCLA and NC State. Conference play starts January 1, 2026, against Texas A&M.
The SEC schedule will be tough every night, making this season a must-watch for any Sooners fan. Here is a look at the entire Oklahoma women’s basketball schedule.

Best TV plans for watching Oklahoma women’s basketball
Following the Sooners now primarily means dealing with the ESPN family of networks. The main linear channel is the SEC Network (SECN), which will carry many key conference games. Marquee matchups against top-ranked opponents or rivalry games might also land on ESPN, ESPN2, or ESPNU. There is also one game each on ABC and FS1 this season.
However, the most crucial component for dedicated fans will be SEC Network+. This is not a regular TV channel. It’s a digital platform where hundreds of live SEC games—including OU’s season opener and many other non-conference and conference games—are streamed.
My top recommendation is a live TV streaming service that also has access to ESPN Unlimited, and Hulu + Live TV is exactly that. The service will get you ABC and FS1 on its platform. And signing into the ESPN app with your Hulu credentials will give you access to every channel owned by ESPN (including SECN, SECN+, and ESPN+).
How to watch Oklahoma women’s basketball FAQ
Where can I watch Oklahoma women's basketball for free?
Unfortunately, free options are very limited in the SEC's broadcast structure. You'll be able to watch the Texas game on ABC with an over-the-air antenna, but that's it in 2025–2026.
How can I stream Oklahoma basketball without cable?
Your best bet is a live TV streaming service. I like Hulu + Live TV, which has access to ESPN Unlimited. This subscription not only gives you the local and traditional cable channels, but also allows you to log into the ESPN app and stream the extensive content on SEC Network+ and ESPN+.
Can I watch Oklahoma basketball on ESPN+?
Yes, there is at least one Sooners game on ESPN+ in 2025–2026, and it's always possible there could be more.
How can I stream Oklahoma women's basketball out of state?
If you are out of state, a live TV streaming service like Hulu + Live TV will provide the major linear channels (ABC, ESPN, FS1). It also gets you access to ESPN+ and SECN+ through the ESPN app.
