  • Butler's home New Year's Day tip against Villanova is set for 6:30 p.m.
  • Butler's March 1 game at Villanova will air on FOX; both of the Bulldogs' tips against Creighton have the potential to also air on FOX (with determinations finalized at a later date).
  • At least 13 of Butler's regular season games can be watched on FS1, while four games will air on FS2. CBS Sports Network is the home of five Butler games during the upcoming season, including both contests as part of the Arizona Tip-Off Nov. 28 and 29.
  • As part of the BIG EAST's new partnership with Peacock, four Butler games will air on the platform this season.

 BIG EAST Conference Schedule Notes:
  • The BIG EAST Conference men's basketball television schedule will feature a record number of national broadcast network appearances for the 2024-25 season. Through its partnership with FOX Sports, the BIG EAST has maintained its position as one of the leaders in the number of games appearing on an over-the-air national network.
  • For the first time ever, the FOX broadcast network will air both BIG EAST Tournament semifinal games, in addition to the championship game from Madison Square Garden. The BIG EAST Tournament has been held at MSG since 1983. It is college basketball's longest running conference postseason tournament held at the same venue.
  • FS1 will televise more than 80 games. FOX broadcast network's coverage includes at least 18 games during the regular season.
  • CBS Sports will carry two conference contests which will be broadcast on CBS and stream live on Paramount+. CBS Sports Network will carry 20 contests, 16 league and four non-league battles.
  • This season the BIG EAST begins a new relationship with NBC Sports/Peacock, which will carry two games on the NBC broadcast network and simulstreamed on Peacock. Peacock will exclusively stream 25 regular-season games in addition to the BIG EAST Tournament First Round games and the afternoon doubleheader of the quarterfinals.
  • For the fourth straight year, FOX Sports will provide blanket coverage of the action of the opening night of the season. On November 4, the BIG EAST Opening Night Tip-Off will include live look-ins on FS1 of eight non-conference contests. Full game coverage for all eight games will be available on the FOX Sports App.
  • BIG EAST basketball in 2024-25 will also be covered on the BIG EAST Digital Network Presented by Invesco QQQ.  Shootaround, the BIG EAST's live online show that captures interviews and highlights of league action, is in its eighth year. The award-winning program will air on the league's social media platforms prior to some of the top games. Fans can follow @BIGEASTMBB on Twitter/X, @BIGEAST on Instagram, and BIGEASTConference on Facebook and YouTube.
