You can stream every game of the strong Huskies men’s and women’s basketball teams. Both squads are well inside the AP Top 25 rankings and at the top of their conference standings. Based on their impressive performances, I expect to see both teams compete in this year’s March Madness. Let me share all the details about how to watch their games.
In a hurry? The UConn Huskies play most of their games on Fox Sports channels (especially FS1). Many women’s games are on SportsNet New York, which can be streamed with these streaming services:

Table Of Contents
The University of Connecticut has, with few disagreeing, the most impressive basketball tradition in the country when men’s and women’s hoops are combined. Only seven men’s programs have won four or more national titles, and UConn is one of those with four. Meanwhile, just two women’s programs have that many titles; UConn has 11 while Tennessee has claimed eight. (UT has yet to win a national championship on the men’s side.)
As a result, both of UConn’s basketball teams receive widespread attention. With that said, unsurprisingly, that interest is most significant within the borders of the Constitution State.
TV Channels to Watch UConn Huskies Basketball
For home regular-season games and all conference contests, including away ones, you can find UConn basketball games on channels such as Fox, FS1, FS2, and CBS Sports Network. In addition, a significant number of the school’s women’s games are on SportsNet New York (SNY), a regional sports network.
For both squads, non-conference games played away from home are broadcast by various networks, including ABC, ESPN, and ESPN2.

Streaming Features
Streaming services provide for free what cable/satellite often charges for. A great example of this is a DVR. Sling TV limits you to 50 hours of storage but all the others allow you to store as much as you like.
All of the services allow you to stream on multiple devices. These range from 2 (Hulu + Live TV) to unlimited (DIRECTV STREAM).
You can stream on pretty much any device since the streaming services provide apps for more of them. These are universally supported: Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, and Roku “stick” devices; mobile devices from Android and iOS (iPhone/iPad); and smart TVs from Android TV and Samsung. Other smart TVs and gaming systems are also widely supported.
UConn Huskies Basketball
Competitive intercollegiate basketball games have been played on the University of Connecticut campus since 1901, when the school was known as Connecticut Agricultural College, and the athletics teams that played were named the Aggies. The men’s first game was that year while the women’s squad headed out on the hardwood for the initial time in 1902.
As is the case most years, both the men’s and women’s teams are in the top 25 rankings.
Rivalries
UConn has a number of rivalries with most of them specific to a sport.
The primary exception to that is the one with Syracuse, a multi-sport rivalry that dates to their shared time in the Big East from 1979-2013. A couple of notable basketball meetings were a six-overtime affair at the Big East Men’s Tournament in 2009, which Syracuse won by a 127-117 score, and a national championship game matchup in women’s hoops in 2016, which UConn won with ease, 82-51. However, matchups are rarer now, after Syracuse left for the ACC in 2013.
Another significant rivalry for the men’s team is with Georgetown. (Georgetown has not really been competitive in women’s basketball.)
Meanwhile, one of the greatest rivalries in college sports as a whole is UConn’s women’s basketball rivalry with Tennessee. They met numerous times from 1995-2007 before picking it back up in 2020. Among those matchups were seven NCAA Tournament showdowns and four title game meetings.
UConn’s women’s team also has heated, quality rivalries with Notre Dame and Rutgers although it does not play the Scarlet Knights regularly anymore, ever since an NCAA Tournament meeting in 2015 a year after Rutgers left for the Big Ten.
Facilities
UConn’s basketball teams are the exception to the general rule that teams have one main home venue. Instead, they split their home games between two arenas. First is the 9,882-seat Harry A Gampel Pavilion on campus in Storrs, Connecticut. And the second is the 16,294-seat XL Center, which is located in downtown Hartford, 25 miles away.
Both squads play roughly half of their home games at one of those facilities and the other half at the other.
UConn Men’s Basketball
UConn’s men’s basketball team’s high-water mark came in 1998-99, 2003-04, 2010-11, 2013-14, 2022-23, and 2023-24, the seasons when it claimed the national championship. The Huskies also reached the Final Four in 2009.
The Huskies are currently coached by Dan Hurley. He’s in his seventh season there. His record in the first five seasons was 104-55 (62%). But the team has doing even better since then.
UConn Women’s Basketball
The women’s basketball program at UConn is unquestionably the elite in this sport. Its 11 national titles are comfortably ahead of Tennessee’s eight. (The Lady Vols have the second-highest total.)
UConn’s titles were won in 1994-95, 1999-2000, 2001-02, 2002-03, 2003-04, 2008-09, 2009-10, and four straight from 2012-13 to 2015-16. They made the finals in 2022, but lost to South Carolina 49-64. In 2023-24, they made the Final Four but barely lost to Iowa, 69-71.
Our Choice
UConn has a pair of basketball programs that garner a tremendous amount of national interest. Although their games are spread around on a number of channels, you have options to watch them all. My top choice is Fubo, since it provides all the channels at a good price. Fubo allows you to try out its service with a free trial.
