The Chicago Sports Network announces an agreement that will bring Missouri Valley Conference basketball to the network. As part of the agreement, CHSN will be televising both live and tape-delay men’s and women’s regular-season games. Additionally, CHSN will televise the first round and quarterfinals round of the men’s conference tournament championship.
Coverage tips off today, Dec.18 with men’s basketball, when the Murray State Racers take on the Indiana State Sycamores starting at 6pm CT.
CHSN’s coverage will highlight the MVC’s deep basketball tradition and feature four Illinois-based teams: University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), Bradley University, Illinois State University (ISU) and Southern Illinois University (SIU).
“We are excited to deepen our commitment to Chicago and Midwest sports by bringing Missouri Valley Conference basketball to CHSN,” says CHSN Executive Producer Joe Riley. “The conference has many devoted fans in the Chicagoland area, and we look forward to becoming a premier destination for them to watch their favorite MVC teams.”
CHSN will also broadcast eight games of the State Farm MVC Men’s Basketball Tournament, held March 6-9, 2025, in St. Louis. CHSN will televise the men’s opening round and quarterfinal games on CHSN and CHSN Plus, allowing fans to follow their teams’ journeys toward the MVC Championship title.
