Western Carolina will play two nationally televised games on CBS Sports Network: at Samford on Feb. 7 and at home against rival Furman on Feb. 13. The Furman game will tip off at 10 a.m. ET, while both broadcasts will also stream on ESPN+.

By the Numbers
  • 19 regular-season games in the Southern Conference broadcast schedule.
  • 15 national TV games: 5 on ESPN2/ESPNU and 10 on CBS Sports Network.
  • All 11 SoCon teams will appear in at least one broadcast.
Yes, But

The expanded national schedule brings greater exposure, but ESPN+ streams require a paid subscription. Western Carolina’s Furman matchup also shifts to an unusually early 10 a.m. tip.

State of Play
  • Western Carolina visits Samford on Feb. 7 at 4 p.m. ET.
  • The Catamounts host Furman on Feb. 13 at 10 a.m. ET, six days later.
  • Both games air on CBS Sports Network and concurrently on ESPN+.
What's Next

Western Carolina opens its season Nov. 2 at North Carolina before beginning its home schedule Nov. 11 against Virginia University of Lynchburg.

Bottom Line

A record SoCon TV package puts Western Carolina in the national spotlight twice, including a high-profile rivalry game at home.
