Kentucky basketball: 2018-19 TV schedule announced
Basketball season is just around the corner.
The SEC offices unveiled the conference TV schedule for 2018-19. That means the TV schedule and tipoff times are mostly set for Kentucky’s 2018-19 season. The showdown with in-state rival Louisville is still TBA on the TV side of things, but many games have been set for either CBS or the ESPN family of networks (including the SEC Network).
For many games, the actual TV network will be decided later, but fans can tell which games will be carried on one of the ESPN networks or CBS or, in one case, FOX. The announcement notes that all of the games included in the ESPN package (ESPN, ESPN2 , ESPNU and SEC Network) will also be available through the ESPN app, which is accessible on computers, smartphones, tablets and connected devices to fans who receive their video subscription from an affiliated provider. All of the CBS Sports games will be available to stream live in markets across the U.S. via the CBS All Access subscription service, with additional coverage on CBSSports.com and the CBS Sports app.
