SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – For the fourth straight year, 13 Summit League games will be televised nationally on CBS Sports Network, nine regular season games and four postseason contests.
The slate begins with a women’s basketball non-conference showdown between No. 22 Oklahoma State and Summit League tournament champion South Dakota State on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 1 p.m. It will be the third consecutive year that SDSU’s women’s program will host a nationally ranked squad on the network. The women’s slate closes on Feb. 7 when defending regular season champion North Dakota State will travel to the Twin Cities for a 1 p.m., tip-off at St. Thomas.
The seven men’s games on the network will all be intra-Summit League tilts starting with a Thursday, Jan. 7 clash between the top two teams in the League’s preseason poll. St. Thomas, picked second, will play host to the defending regular season and tournament champion North Dakota State, at 7 p.m.
On Friday, Jan. 29 at 8 p.m., the national audience will see a rematch of the 2026 Summit League Championship game when the Bison take an hour trek north for a meeting with North Dakota. Then, on Sunday, Jan. 31, South Dakota State hits the road for a 1 p.m., contest at Omaha.
South Dakota will be featured for the next two CBS Sports Network games, starting with a home game on Feb. 6 at 1 p.m., against Oral Roberts. A week later, the Coyotes travel to Brookings for a 1 p.m., tip-off against South Dakota State on Feb. 13.
The regular season slate rounds out on Feb. 21, featuring a Sunday Summit League doubleheader. At 1 p.m., Kansas City, led by first-year head coach Mark Turgeon, hits the road to take on Omaha and, at 3 p.m., Oral Roberts plays at St. Thomas.
CBS Sports Network will then show both men’s semifinal matchups and each championship game of the 2027 Summit League Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments. The men’s semifinals will air on Saturday, March 6 starting at 7 p.m., along with both title games on Sunday, March 7. The women’s championship game is slated for 3 p.m., and the men’s is slated for 8 p.m.
