BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – The Ohio Valley Conference announced its slate of Conference basketball games across ESPN platforms for the 2023-24 season on Thursday.

For the second-straight year the League will utilize a Wild Card selection process to determine the linear telecasts, with selections determined and announced approximately two weeks before the competition date to ensure the best matchups.

The schedule includes nine total men's basketball games (six regular season contests and three OVC Tournament games) that will appear on one of the linear networks during the season. The six regular season games will air on ESPNU.

In addition, all seven games of the OVC Women's Basketball Tournament, as well as the first round and quarterfinals of the men's tournament (four total games), will stream on ESPN+.
