INDIANAPOLIS/DAYTON – The Horizon League released on Wednesday the League’s television schedule for the upcoming 2023-24 men’s basketball season, with Wright State men’s basketball selected for five potential regular season contests.

A total of eight Horizon League matchups will air on ESPN linear networks including five during the regular season. All regular season games during the 2023-24 season will be “wildcard” selections to ensure the best matchups possible.

The Raiders had three regular season ESPN linear games last season and have had at least one regular season linear contest in 16 of the last 17 seasons dating back to 2006-07, with multiple regular season contests 12 times in that same 17-year stretch.

Continuing a relationship that began with the 1988 Midwestern Collegiate Conference men’s basketball championship game, the entire Horizon League Men’s Basketball Championship in Indianapolis will appear on ESPN linear networks from the Indiana Farmers Coliseum. The action begins on Monday, March 11 with the semifinals and culminates with the championship game on Tuesday, March 12 on either ESPN or ESPN2.

ESPN+ continues to be the home for the League’s live streaming game content, a relationship that began during the 2014-15 season. The Horizon League has streamed every League basketball game for an industry-best 17 consecutive seasons, beginning its streak in 2007 with the groundbreaking Horizon League Network.
