The Horizon League has announced its television schedule for the 2024-25 men's basketball season, highlighting six regular-season games to be broadcast on ESPN's linear networks. This includes five league contests and a non-league matchup featuring Oakland against Michigan State at Little Caesars Arena, set to air on ESPN2.

A total of eight Horizon League matchups will be showcased on ESPN networks, with all regular-season games designated as "wildcard" selections. This approach ensures that the most competitive matchups are featured. Each of the league's 11 teams will have a chance to appear on ESPN2 or ESPNU during league play.

The Horizon League has consistently streamed every league basketball game for 18 consecutive seasons since launching the Horizon League Network in 2007.

The schedule begins with Oakland facing Michigan State on December 17 at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN2. Other notable games include Cleveland State at Purdue Fort Wayne and Northern Kentucky at Detroit Mercy, among others, scheduled throughout January and February. The season concludes with a series of matches on March 1.

ESPN will continue its long-standing relationship with the Horizon League by broadcasting the entire Men's Basketball Championship from Indiana Farmers Coliseum in Indianapolis. The semifinals commence on March 10, culminating in the championship game on March 11, which will air either on ESPN or ESPN2.

Additionally, ESPN+ remains the primary platform for live streaming all league games, maintaining a partnership that began in the 2014-15 season.
