BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Baseball and Softball have announced their home broadcasting schedules for the 2024 season.
For the first time ever, Hilltopper fans will be able to watch home baseball and softball games on ESPN+. Conference USA signed a new television agreement that all school-produced broadcasts must air on ESPN+. The benefit of the new TV deal has been higher production standards (score bug, commercials, manned cameras, etc.), dedicated announcer teams (no more simulcasting radio broadcasts) and games are significantly easier to find – they are the same quality broadcast you would see on TV.
For baseball, nine home contests will be streamed on ESPN+ including the weekend series against FIU and Dallas Baptist, the midweek meeting with Louisville, and two-of-three games against new CUSA foe, Liberty. As in years past, there will also be a radio broadcast for every game throughout the season.
For softball, eight home games will be broadcasted live on ESPN+ including the CUSA home opening series against FIU, the next home series against Sam Houston, the midweek matchup with Kentucky, and the series opener against Middle Tennessee.
The complete broadcast schedule is listed below.
