You can follow all of NCAA sports with Fubo. Try it free.
I live in Dayton, Ohio, where multiple colleges call this city home. When it comes to men’s basketball, though, the Dayton Flyers stand in a league of their own in terms of popularity. Their widespread appeal extends well beyond our local community, making it relatively easy for me to catch most of their games even without a cable subscription.
In a hurry? Most Flyers games are broadcast on various ESPN channels along with CBS Sports Network and USA. These streaming services will let you watch most of the games:
All three services carry NCAA Basketball. Pick based on your budget:
Best Overall
185+ channels including NCAA Basketball, all major sports networks, and local channels. 7-day free trial – watch tonight, cancel anytime. Best if you want one service that “just works”, without piecing together bundles.
From $79.99/mo after free trial
Lowest Price
Carries NCAA Basketball from $45.99/mo – roughly half the price of Fubo. Add channel packs if you want more. The lowest-cost route for NCAA Basketball, if you are happy with a smaller bundle.
Most Channels
90+ channels including NCAA Basketball – the closest thing to full cable without a contract. 5-day free trial, then from $84.99/mo.
Away from home? If your content is blocked, a VPN helps you keep streaming. Our top pick is ExpressVPN.
The Dayton Flyers basketball team is a member of the Atlantic 10 (A-10) conference, and the school has had a formal basketball program since 1902. At the time of its creation, Dayton was known as St Mary’s, and the team was referred to by local sportswriters as the Saints.
Although A-10 member schools don’t play football at the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level, it has not stopped Dayton’s basketball team from being a financial success. Audits conducted in 2014 and 2017 found that it has a higher net worth than traditional powers Florida, Texas, and Michigan State.
We now have the complete schedule for March Madness 2024. The Dayton Flyers’ women’s team struggled this season and did not make the tournament.
But the men were among the leading teams in the Atlantic 10 Conference. They’ve have had one of the longest winning streaks in 50 years and will be participating:
| Date | Time (ET) | Teams | TV |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thu Mar 21 | 4:30 pm | Dayton vs U Nevada | TBS |
| Sat Mar 23 | 12:45 pm | Dayton vs U Arizona | CBS |
Dayton Flyers basketball games are broadcast on a number of networks including ESPN, ESPN2, CBS Sports Network, and USA Network.
You will also be able to find select games on MASN, Bally Sports Ohio, and Spectrum News 1 (Ohio). Games against nonconference opponents may be broadcast on stations dedicated to teams in those conferences.
Seven of the Flyers’ 2021-2022 games were streamed on on ESPN+.

The Flyers first rose to national prominence in the 1950s when they were routinely recognized by coaches and sportswriters as one of the best teams in the country. In 1955, the school was ranked second in the nation, which to this day is the highest ranking it has ever received.
During the 2019-2020 season, Dayton would rise as high as third in the nation and would even receive a first-place vote in the Associated Press (AP) poll of sportswriters. But they haven’t participated in March Madness since 2017.
Dayton has reached the NCAA tournament on 18 different occasions, and the school’s last appearance in this event came in 2017. However, the Flyers would likely have qualified for the 2020 edition of the tournament had it not been canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dayton’s best finish in this event was in 1967 when it reached the championship game.
The school has also appeared in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) 25 times during its nearly 120 years in existence. In 2010, the Flyers won the tournament for the third time after defeating North Carolina in the final. Dayton’s last NIT appearance came in 2021 when it lost in the first round to Memphis.
Dayton has had a number of its former players go on to enjoy success in the National Basketball Association (NBA), the currently defunct American Basketball Association (ABA), and international professional leagues. In 2020, Obi Toppin was selected eighth overall by the New York Knicks and is considered to be one of the best young players in the NBA.
Anthony Grant has been their head coach since 2017 after succeeding Archie Miller. Their top players are Nate Santos, DaRon Holmes II (points, blocked shots, rebounds leader), Koby Brea, Kobe Elvis (assists leader), Enoch Cheeks, Isaac Jack, Javon Bennett (steals leader), and Petras Padegimas. They play their home games at UD Arena.

Dayton, like other NCAA teams, has a full range of other sports programs.
Dayton plays college football in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), which is considered to be a step below the FBS. A member of the Pioneer Football League, the school has won 11 conference championships and two national championships. The Flyers last won a conference title in 2010 and last won a national title in 1989.
Notable former players include Jon Gruden, Branden Staley, and Chuck Noll. In 2020, Adam Trautman became the first player from Dayton to be drafted by an NFL team since 1977.
In addition to basketball and football, Dayton sponsors teams in sports such as soccer, track, and volleyball.
The Dayton Flyers baseball team has won two regular-season conference championships and won the A-10 conference tournament in 2012.
It is worth mentioning that Dayton is one of the few schools that actually sponsors more women’s sports than men’s sports. The women’s golf team participates in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) instead of the A-10.
After trying out all the big streaming services, Fubo came out on top for Dayton Flyers fans. You get ESPN, ESPN2, CBS Sports Network, and USA Network in the base plan, covering most games, plus Bally Sports Ohio (for an extra fee) if you want local coverage. The unlimited cloud DVR and smooth interface make it easy to watch live or catch up later, and you can stream on up to ten devices at once—perfect if you’re sharing. Some services, like Sling TV, miss key channels like CBS, and Hulu + Live TV doesn’t have Bally Sports Ohio, so they just don’t stack up the same way. Fubo delivers the most complete Flyers experience with the right mix of channels, features, and flexibility.
