A total of 18 Mountain West regular-season men’s basketball games will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network, and the CBS Television Network will carry the men’s basketball championship game.

Two regular-season women’s basketball games will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network in addition to the conference championship game.

There will be 12 regular-season football games annually on Fox, FS1, and FS2 and 20 regular-season men’s basketball games on Fox channels.

The CW will debut its coverage of the Mountain West with an annual package of 13 regular-season football games, 20 regular-season men’s basketball games and 15 regular-season women’s basketball games.
