The Bradley men's basketball program finalized its game times and television coverage for the 2019-20 campaign on Thursday. The Braves are set to feature on national television at least nine times during the season, highlighted by a home ESPN2 contest against Northern Iowa in a rematch of the 2019 MVC Championship.

Bradley is set to air on national television three times during the non-conference season with both games at the Rocket Mortgage Fort Myers Tip-Off slated for FS1 before BU's road game at Memphis will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network.

Both contests versus Northern Iowa are set for the ESPN family as Bradley's game in Cedar Falls will air on ESPNU (Jan. 4) before the home game at Carver Arena on ESPN2 (Jan. 18). It marks the Braves' first home game on either ESPN or ESPN2 since playing Wichita State on ESPN2 during the 2013-14 home finale.

Bradley is also set for an ESPN2 date at Loyola (Feb. 1), while the home game against Evansville (Feb. 9) will air on either ESPNU or CBS Sports Network. Additionally, Bradley's road games against Southern Illinois (Feb. 15) and Illinois State (Feb. 26) are slated for CBS Sports Network.

The Braves' home matchup against Toledo (Dec. 28) can also be seen on NBC Sports Chicago with conference games against Indiana State (Jan. 25 and Feb. 12), Drake (Feb. 5) and Missouri State (Feb. 19) selected for MVC Network (FOX Sports Midwest along with sister regional cable outlets FOX Sports Indiana and Kansas City, along with NBC Sports Chicago).

BU's final home game of the season, versus Loyola on Feb. 29, is also eligible for the MVC Wildcard selection with a possibility of airing on either ESPN2 or CBS Sports Network. The Braves' remaining home games and road conference contests will air on The Valley on ESPN – either ESPN3 or ESPN+.

Bradley officially opens the 2019-20 regular season on Tuesday, November 5 with a road game at Saint Joseph's.
