ST. LOUIS -- The Missouri Valley Conference will distribute a men’s and women’s basketball telecast package on Gray Media-owned and non-Gray syndicated over-the-air stations in 2025-26.  The Missouri Valley Conference, with Indianapolis-based Tupelo Honey serving as its production company, has worked in conjunction with Gray Media to clear the package.  Gray Media affiliate stations located within the Conference’s six-state footprint of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, and Tennessee will air MVC games on the package.  The Valley on ESPN will also distribute the productions nationally on ESPN+.

The league will also produce three regular-season women’s basketball games, marking the third-straight year the league has produced and distributed multiple league contests on either regional cable or over-the-air television platforms. 

The 2026 State Farm MVC Men’s Basketball Championship -- the league’s 36th-consecutive event in St. Louis -- on March 5-8 will feature 10 games with the first seven contests being shown on Gray Media-owned and non-Gray syndicated over-the-air stations.  This year’s tournament will be the Conference’s 50th overall men’s basketball championship.
