CW Courtside Saturday
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CW Courtside Saturday is a presentation of NCAA Division I college basketball broadcast by The CW.
In 2023, The CW acquired a Raycom Sports-produced package of Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) athletics that had been previously broadcast by Bally Sports; the package consisted primarily of college football and basketball, including 28 men's basketball games, and 9 women's basketball games per-season. During the initial season, these games were broadcast under the ACC on The CW banner.[1][2] In the 2024–25 season, The CW added two additional ACC women's basketball games,[3] as well as the HBCU All-Star Game.[4]
In August 2025, CW Sports announced a renewal of its contract with the rebuilt Pac-12 Conference (whose two remaining members as of 2024—Oregon State and Washington State—had been televising their football games on The CW) from 2026–27 through 2030–31, adding rights to 35 men's basketball games and 15 women's basketball games per-season. CW Sports will also televise the semi-finals and championship of the Pac-12 Conference women's basketball tournament.[5] In February 2026, CW Sports announced an agreement with the Mountain West Conference to carry 20 men's basketball games and 15 women's basketball games over the same period.[6]
