The Big East Conference and ESPN have agreed to a new six-year digital media rights deal, marking the renewal of their historic partnership after more than a decade since their last split. The agreement, effective from the 2025-26 season, will grant ESPN the rights to broadcast hundreds of Big East events, including men’s and women’s basketball, across 22 sports. This deal will also provide additional content for ESPN’s upcoming direct-to-consumer platform, scheduled to launch in the fall of 2025.
