How To Watch Texas Longhorns Women’s Basketball in 2025
✦ Edited and fact-checked by Sports Editor Taylor Kujawa, our resident TV expert with over eight years of covering sports.

A closer look at Texas women’s basketball
The Longhorns made a resounding statement in their SEC debut, storming to a 35–4 record and a share of the regular-season title en route to the Final Four. That incredible run, led by the breakout brilliance of Madison Booker, proved Texas absolutely belongs among the nation’s elite. While the Final Four loss to South Carolina stung, it set a new standard for Year Two in the new conference.
Now, the Longhorns’ narrative shifts from proving they belong to establishing dominance. Coach Vic Schaefer faces the challenge of replacing key departed seniors like Shay Holle and Taylor Jones. But fear not, the star power remains immense. Booker is back, crucially joined by returning senior point guard Rori Harmon. Schaefer re-tooled aggressively via the portal, too, bringing in proven scorers like Teya Sidberry (Boston College) and Ashton Judd (Missouri), plus highly-touted freshman Aaliyah Crump.
The core question isn’t if Texas can compete, but how quickly the talented newcomers integrate into Schaefer’s demanding system. Finding their games means navigating the SEC’s broadcast partners, primarily SEC Network, ESPN channels, and the digital-only SEC Network+. In this guide, I’ll outline exactly how to watch Texas women’s basketball as they pursue the ultimate prize.
2025–2026 Texas women’s basketball TV schedule
The Longhorns’ latest campaign begins at home on November 3 against Incarnate Word. The non-conference schedule features several demanding tests, including games against UCLA, North Carolina, and Baylor.
Of course, this second year in the SEC promises high-stakes showdowns. While the full schedule includes the entire 16-team SEC lineup, all eyes will inevitably turn towards clashes with the conference’s other titans. I’m definitely circling the LSU and South Carolina matchups. These games will define the path toward another SEC title and a top seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Best TV plans for watching Texas women’s basketball
To follow the Longhorns’ pursuit of SEC and national titles, your viewing setup needs to center around the ESPN family of networks. But you’ll also need truTV in your lineup for some non-conference games.
My top all-in-one streaming recommendation for watching Texas basketball is Hulu + Live TV. It carries every ESPN channel, including SECN+ and ESPN+ coverage, as well as other key networks from FOX Sports and TNT Sports. Essentially, Hulu + Live TV will get you every Longhorns game on the schedule this season.
If you don’t want a robust live TV plan, you can opt for the standalone ESPN Unlimited subscription. That’ll set you up with every game across the ESPN and SEC Network portfolio. You’ll just miss out on the truTV matchups, but you can score that coverage with an HBO Max Standard or Premium plan.
And lastly, if you already have a live TV provider with SEC Network, you might be wondering how to watch those SECN+ games. Well, all you gotta do is use your TV provider login through the ESPN app, and you’ll be able to stream those games no problem.
