1/24/2026 9:42:00 AM | Men's Basketball
LAWRENCE, Kan. – ESPN announced Saturday morning that College GameDay covered by State Farm will broadcast live at Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday, Jan. 31 in advance of the BYU at Kansas matchup.
Â
The one-hour ESPN College GameDay show will begin at 10 a.m. (Central) with tipoff for the KU-BYU contest slated for 3:30 p.m. (Central), also on ESPN. Details for the Jan. 31 College GameDay show will be released early next week.
Â
Kansas will be the second on-site location for ESPN College GameDay for the 2025-26 season as the show originated from Lubbock, Texas, on Jan. 24 for the Big 12 matchup between Houston and Texas Tech.
Â
ESPN College GameDay is hosted by Rece Davis and features Jay Bilas, Jay Williams, Andraya Carter, and Seth Greenberg.
Â
This will mark the 13th time that ESPN's College GameDay will broadcast from historic Allen Fieldhouse, which Davis has described as "the best place to see a game on the planet." KU's 13th time hosting is tied with North Carolina for second most, trailing only Duke (14). Additionally, Kansas is 10-2 when hosting ESPN College GameDay with only Syracuse (4-0), Texas (3-0), and Tennessee (3-0), having a better record as host (minimum three games).
Â
The KU-BYU contest will mark the 24th time the Jayhawks will be featured on ESPN College GameDay during the regular-season. KU's 24th appearance is the third most trailing Duke (30) and North Carolina (29). Kansas is 15-8 in its previous regular-season appearances.
