FORT WORTH - TCU basketball is getting plenty of national exposure this season, and Horned Frogs fans now know exactly when and where to watch Jamie Dixon's team face some of college basketball's biggest programs.
The Big 12 Conference announced its 2026-27 men's basketball television schedule Tuesday, with 22 TCU games selected for television broadcasts and every regular-season contest available through a television or streaming platform.

For a program coming off its best conference record in school history, the expanded television presence offers another opportunity to build momentum.
And several of the biggest games are coming to Schollmaier Arena.
Texas A&M visits Fort Worth on Nov. 19 for a 7 p.m. Central showdown streaming on Peacock. It's one of the Horned Frogs' most intriguing nonconference matchups and an opportunity to make an early statement against SEC competition.
Clemson follows on Dec. 12, with ESPN2 carrying the 3:30 p.m. contest.
But the national spotlight gets even brighter once Big 12 play begins.
Texas Tech comes to town Jan. 9 for a 1 p.m. game on TNT, while rival Baylor visits Jan. 19 for an 8:30 p.m. matchup on truTV.
BYU arrives Jan. 27 for a 6 p.m. tip, and Kansas makes its highly anticipated visit Feb. 24 for an 8 p.m. contest scheduled for an ESPN network.
Those games should provide plenty of opportunities for TCU to establish itself as a serious conference contender.
The Horned Frogs also face challenging road assignments, including Houston on Jan. 2, Arizona on Feb. 8 and Iowa State on Feb. 27.
TCU opens the regular season Nov. 2 against Lindenwood at 7 p.m. on ESPN+.
The roster, however, will look dramatically different from last season.
Dixon, entering his 11th year leading the program, returns just five players while welcoming ten newcomers.
That's a substantial overhaul for a team that finished 11-7 in conference play last season, establishing a program record for Big 12 victories and finishing sixth in the standings.
The Horned Frogs have also reached the NCAA Tournament in four of the past five seasons, raising expectations for continued postseason success.
But chemistry could determine how quickly this group comes together.
With so many new faces, Dixon must develop consistent production before navigating another demanding Big 12 schedule.
Fortunately, fans won't have to search very hard to follow the process.

Between ESPN+, Peacock, ESPN2, TNT, truTV and other national networks, TCU will have plenty of opportunities to showcase its new-look roster.
The bigger question is whether the Horned Frogs can turn that exposure into another March Madness appearance.
