EDISON, NJ (Oct. 23, 2025) – The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) has announced its 2025-26 men’s and women’s basketball television schedule, which will feature five ESPNU regular season contests.
Of the five MAAC Wildcard games this season, four will be men’s game and one will feature a women’s contest. The MAAC ESPNU slate will feature two games in the month January, a pair of contests in February and the final game will occur during the men’s regular season finale on March 1. This will also mark the second consecutive season that every ESPNU game is a true wildcard selection, with none of the five games predetermined, giving the MAAC and ESPN more flexibility to feature the most compelling matchup within each window.
The wildcard dates allow any MAAC basketball regular-season contest on the docket to be flexed to air on ESPNU as part of the MAAC Wildcard Package. ESPN and the MAAC will announce the wildcard game 10 days prior to the scheduled game.
Games airing on an ESPN platform will also be available on the ESPN App with TV Everywhere credentials. All events will be available for replay on the ESPN App. All other MAAC basketball home games will air on ESPN+, the leading sports streaming service.
