How To Watch Texas Longhorns Women’s Basketball
✦ Edited and fact-checked by Taylor Kujawa, our Sports Editor with over eight years of experience in sports media and digital publishing.
A look at 2026–2027 Texas women’s basketball
Texas knows how close it is to a national championship. The Longhorns went 35–4 last season, won the SEC Tournament, and reached the Final Four for a second straight year. UCLA ended their run in the national semifinals, leaving Vic Schaefer’s program with another chance to turn a deep March run into a title.
Three-time All-American Madison Booker returns for her senior season, while forward Breya Cunningham gives Texas experience in the paint. Longtime point guard Rori Harmon has moved on, but Oklahoma transfer Zya Vann, Marquette transfer Jada Bediako, and the nation’s top-ranked freshman class give Schaefer fresh options. The supporting cast looks different, yet the Longhorns still have the star power to compete for another SEC crown.
On TV, the Longhorns’ schedule runs almost entirely through the ESPN family. ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and SEC Network carry televised games, with additional matchups streaming on SEC Network+ or ESPN+. That makes watching Texas women’s basketball more straightforward than some other teams. Below, I’ve laid out the complete 2026–2027 TV schedule and the best options for following the Longhorns.
2026–2027 Texas women’s basketball TV schedule
Texas faces a loaded nonconference slate, including matchups with Ohio State and TCU in Fort Worth, Louisville at Moody Center, and Duke and UCLA at the Players Era Showcase in Las Vegas. SEC play brings home tests against South Carolina, Tennessee, and Vanderbilt, plus two Lone Star Showdown meetings with Texas A&M.
Check out the Longhorns’ TV schedule in the table below for game times and channel listings. We’ll update it as any remaining broadcast assignments are finalized throughout the season.

Best TV plans for Texas women’s basketball
Every currently announced Texas women’s basketball game falls within ESPN’s networks or streaming platforms. The biggest broadcasts appear on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and SEC Network, while SECN+ handles additional home and conference matchups. Select nonconference road games, including trips to Green Bay and Southeast Missouri State, stream on ESPN+.
My top recommendation is ESPN Unlimited because it covers the Longhorns’ entire announced regular-season slate in one standalone subscription. If you’d rather have live TV, YouTube TV brings the ESPN networks and integrated ESPN Unlimited streams into one service, with additional sports coverage and unlimited DVR.
Best Overall
ESPN Unlimited carries Texas’ nationally televised matchups and the SECN+ and ESPN+ games that don’t appear on regular channels. With the announced schedule entirely within ESPN’s portfolio, it’s an efficient way to follow the Longhorns without a full live TV bundle. You’ll need other services for sports shown outside ESPN’s networks.
Best Live TV Plan
YouTube TV’s Sports Plan pairs Texas’ core ESPN channels with ESPN Unlimited integration, including SECN+ and ESPN+ broadcasts. Unlimited DVR storage and additional sports channels make it a strong choice for fans who follow more than just the Longhorns. It’s still a bigger subscription than Texas’ ESPN-only schedule requires.
How to watch Texas women’s basketball FAQ
Where can I watch Texas women's basketball for free?
You can watch select Texas games on ABC with an over-the-air (OTA) antenna, depending on local availability. Other regular-season matchups generally require ESPN Unlimited or a qualifying TV subscription.
How can I stream Texas basketball without cable?
ESPN Unlimited is my top pick for streaming Texas women's basketball without cable. It covers the team's main ESPN and SEC broadcasts, plus SECN+ and ESPN+ exclusives. YouTube TV's Sports Plan adds a live TV guide, broader sports coverage, and unlimited DVR with the same ESPN streaming access.
Can I watch Texas women's basketball on ESPN+?
Yes, select Texas road games stream on ESPN+, which is included with ESPN Select. But Select alone doesn't include the main ESPN and SEC Network feeds or full SECN+ access. ESPN Unlimited covers both the televised and streaming-only portions of the Longhorns' schedule.
What is SEC Network+ and how do I watch Texas games on it?
SEC Network+ (SECN+) is a digital streaming service within the ESPN app that carries additional SEC games, including many Texas matchups. You can access it with an ESPN Unlimited subscription or by signing in with a TV provider that includes SEC Network.
Does Longhorn Network still carry Texas women's basketball?
No, the relaunched Longhorn Network is a free streaming service for highlights, original programming, and other Texas Athletics content, not live game video. That said, it does offer live audio for Longhorns basketball games.
