An official welcome to the 2024-25 men's and women's college basketball season! This year, FOX is thankful to offer college basketball games from the BIG EAST (men's and women's) regular season and conference tournament), Big Ten (men's and women's), Big 12 (women's only; men's coverage beginning in 2025-26) & Mountain West (men's and women's) conferences. The increased lineup encompass a robust Thanksgiving week schedule, a new primetime window for this season: FOX College Basketball Friday, new women's hoops showcases on the FOX broadcast network and much more.

Thanksgiving Feast on FOX:
Thanksgiving week kicks off with a bang on Monday, November 25 as the men's Fort Myers Tip-Off tournament is set to begin on FS1, featuring Michigan vs. Virginia Tech at 6:00 PM ET and South Carolina vs. Xavier at 8:30 PM ET. The tournament continues two days later, on Wednesday, November 27, with the third place contest and championship game airing at 6:00 PM ET and 8:30 PM ET on FS1, respectively.

On Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, November 28), leading into FOX's late afternoon NFL presentation of Giants-Cowboys, FOX Sports showcases the women's side of the Fort Myers Tip-Off, with South Carolina vs. No. 8 Iowa State at 1:30 PM ET on FOX.

Later that day, the Rady's Children Invitational from San Diego, California gets going on FS1 featuring No. 6 Purdue vs. NC State at 3:00 PM ET and Ole Miss vs. BYU at 5:30 PM ET. The action marches forward on Black Friday (Friday, November 29) on FOX, with the third-place matchup airing at 3:30 PM ET and the championship game airing at 6:00 PM ET.

First-Class Women's Slate on FOX:
In the aftermath of a record-setting regular season of women's college basketball in broadcast television in 2023-24, FOX Sports looks to capture that recent momentum by promoting women's sports on a regular basis with the beginning of two new women's college hoops showcases and a massive of highly anticipated games on the FOX broadcast network.

To begin with, the Women's Champions Classic, a primetime doubleheader featuring some of the nation's leading women's college basketball programs with No. 2 Connecticut, No. 25 Louisville, Iowa and Tennessee competing on Saturday, December 7 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The competition tips off with Tennessee vs. Iowa at 7:00 PM ET followed by Louisville vs. Connecticut at 9:30 PM ET, with both games on FOX.

Additionally, the Coretta Scott King Classic, a showcase designed to honor the memory of the late author, activist, and wife of the late great Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., gives us an opportunity to feature four highly respected women's college basketball programs in a doubleheader on Monday, January 20, 2025, which is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Airing on FOX, UCLA takes on No. 18 Baylor at 3:00 PM ET while No. 4 Texas takes on No. 11 Maryland at 5:30 PM ET from the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.

Additional highlights on the FOX broadcast network for 2024-25 include: UCLA at Indiana, Connecticut at Creighton, Connecticut at Iowa, No. 12 Ohio State at No. 3 USC, No. 10 Kansas State at No. 13 West Virginia, Iowa State at Baylor and USC at UCLA.

FOX College Basketball Friday and FOX Primetime Hoops:
This year, FOX Sports looks to build off the success that FOX COLLEGE FOOTBALL FRIDAY has already given them by creating a new Friday night primetime window, called FOX COLLEGE BASKETBALL FRIDAY. Supplementing FOX's FOX PRIMETIME HOOPS Saturday night package, the Friday night slate features some of college basketball's top rivalries.

Beginning on Saturday, December 7, FOX PRIMETIME HOOPS runs for 15 straight weeks culminating with the BIG EAST Men's Championship on FOX. Package highlights the inaugural Women's Champions Classic, No. 3 Gonzaga vs. No. 2 Connecticut, No. 3 USC at No. 2 Connecticut (Women's), Gonzaga vs. UCLA & No. 12 Duke at No. 25 Illinois.

Set to premiere on Friday, December 13, FOX COLLEGE BASKETBALL FRIDAY will feature 13 high-profile games starting with No. 16 Indiana at Nebraska and concluding with the BIG EAST Men's Semifinal doubleheader on FOX. Other important games in the inaugural FOX Friday night package includes: Michigan State at Ohio State, Indiana at Purdue, No. 22 St. John's at Connecticut, UCLA at Indiana & Michigan State at Michigan.
