How To Watch Oregon Ducks Men’s Basketball

A look at the 2025–2026 Ducks
Welcome to life in the Big Ten, where the flights are long and the road games are unforgiving. After a strong debut in the conference last year that included a trip to the Round of 32, the Ducks are currently feeling the effects of what I call the “travel tax.” Coach Dana Altman is in his 16th season, and while his teams are famous for slow starts before peaking in March, a recent five-game skid against high-caliber opponents has set off alarm bells in Eugene.
The defense is surrendering points at an uncharacteristic rate for an Altman-coached squad, and the injuries are piling up early, as is tradition. I know the fanbase is in a bit of a panic mode right now, especially with the team barely above .500. But if there is one coach who earns the benefit of the doubt when it comes to fixing rotations mid-season, it’s Altman.
Following the Ducks this year requires a bit of a broadcasting adjustment, especially for West Coast fans. I created this guide to help you navigate the new channel lineups, the streaming subscriptions you actually need, and how to watch the team try to right the ship.
2025–2026 Oregon men’s basketball TV schedule
The Ducks lost to Gonzaga in Portland on December 21, missing a massive opportunity to grab a headline win. After the holidays, the team heads back east for a January 2 matchup against Maryland, marking yet another cross-country trek.
The rivalry game against Washington on January 25 is another key date to watch. With many of these games tipping off late at night for the East Coast audience, the broadcast partners have shifted heavily toward streaming, which I will explain below.

Best TV plans for Oregon men’s basketball
Because Oregon is on the West Coast, they provide the Big Ten with valuable late-night television inventory. Consequently, a huge volume of Ducks games have been shifted exclusively to Peacock. Unlike some other teams where Peacock is a “nice to have,” for Oregon fans, it’s absolutely mandatory. You will miss a significant chunk of the conference slate without it.
For the games that are on traditional TV, you will find them on the Big Ten Network (BTN), FS1, and occasionally NBC. I recommend using Hulu + Live TV as your base package. It gets you all the cable channels you need, and when you pair it with that essential Peacock Premium subscription, you are fully covered.
