The Bradley men's basketball program finalized its game times and television coverage for the 2018-19 campaign on Thursday. Overall, the Braves are set to be featured on 28 broadcasts during the season, including all 16 home games and at least four nationally-televised games.

Bradley will feature on national television at least four times this season with the possibility of two additional contests. The Braves' game at Illinois State on Feb. 16 is set to be aired on ESPN2 – BU's first Valley contest on the station since playing No. 2 Wichita State in 2014. Bradley will also feature on CBS Sports Network three times during the campaign, including both games at the Cancun Challenge and a home contest versus Southern Illinois on Feb. 2.

Additionally, Bradley's road game at SIU on Jan. 20 will air on either ESPNU or ESPN3, while the regular-season finale at Loyola on March 2 is eligible for MVC Wildcard selection with a possibility of airing on either ESPN2 or CBS Sports Network.

Bradley will also feature a league-high four times on MVC Network with home games against Drake (Jan. 16), Illinois State (Jan. 23) and Loyola (Feb. 13) and a road game at Missouri State (Jan.26) selected for the network. MVC Network games can be seen on FOX Sports Midwest – along with sister regional cable outlets FOX Sports Indiana and Kansas City – and NBC Sports Chicago.

The league also announced its coverage for the 2019 State Farm MVC Championship. The first six contests will air on FOX Sports and NBC Sports Chicago before the semifinals are shown on CBS Sports Network and the title contest will air on CBS for a 14th-straight season.

Bradley officially opens the 2018-19 regular season on Wednesday, November 7 with a home game against UW-Parkside. Game time at Carver Arena is set for 7 p.m. and will be shown live on either ESPN3 or ESPN+.
