How to Watch Games on NESN and NESNplus
BOSTON – The Boston University Department of Athletics is proud to announce a continued television partnership with NESN, resulting in a 20-game broadcast package for eight teams over the course of the 2019-20 season.
The basketball, ice hockey, and lacrosse teams will each have three home games televised on either NESN or NESNplus. The new package will open with a soccer doubleheader against Harvard on Oct. 15. The women play at 4 p.m., followed by the men at 7 p.m. Both of those contests will be broadcast live on NESNplus.
These broadcasts will be produced internally by BU Athletics' video production department in conjunction with the Patriot League Network. In a partnership with BUTV10 in BU's College of Communication, BU Athletics video production provides a unique co-curricular learning environment where students gain hands-on experience during live broadcast productions at various athletic events on campus. On average, BU Athletics produces more than 100 live video broadcasts annually for 12 different sports and other events.
"We were thrilled with the success of the first year of our partnership with NESN, and we're excited to once again showcase our student-athletes on its networks," said Drew Marrochello, BU's director of athletics. "NESN continues to be the go-to television source for New England sports coverage and we're proud to be part of its programming. We're also proud to continue our partnership with the College of Communication and provide a hands-on experience for those students that is second-to-none in the region."
NESN and NESNplus are available throughout the six-state New England region (except Fairfield County, Connecticut). For a complete channel listing in your area, click here.
All 20 contests in the package will also be available on NESNgo, the network's streaming service, and fans outside of the New England area will be able to access the broadcasts through the Patriot League Network (basketball, lacrosse and soccer) and CBS Sports Digital properties (hockey). Select games will also be available on NESN National, which can be accessed via several TV providers throughout the country.
The six lacrosse broadcasts will be determined once those teams' 2020 schedules are announced in the coming weeks.
