College basketball is back. ESPN's industry-leading men's and women's college basketball coverage returns for the 2025-26 season.
On the men's side, Florida is on the hunt for a repeat title after winning their third national championship in program history last season. Meanwhile, Azzi Fudd and Sarah Strong eye another banner year for the UConn women, after the Huskies captured their 12th title a season ago.
From the inaugural Dick Vitale Invitational featuring a showdown between perennial men's powers Texas and Duke to marquee women's matchups including Dawn Staley's South Carolina squad and Kim Mulkey's LSU Tigers, ESPN will have full coverage of both the men's and women's college basketball seasons.
