Xavier announced its times and broadcast coverage for the 2024-25 season on Wednesday.
In total, Xavier will play 18 games on FS1, four on FOX National, three on CBS Sports Network and three on Peacock.
Xavier’s four games on FOX National are all against NCAA Tournament teams from a year ago. The Musketeers will be on national television for both contests against Marquette and home matchups against reigning champion UConn and Creighton.
