HACKENSACK, N.J. – FDU Athletics is thrilled to announce that FDU basketball will return to the YES Network and DAZN for the 2026-27 season, with nine home games set to be broadcast with the nation's pre-eminent regional sports network.
 
This season marks the fourth consecutive year FDU basketball will air on YES. This year's slate features three women's basketball contests, with six men's games on the docket. 
 
The women's basketball coverage tips off on November 12 when the Knights play host to Manhattan. YES and DAZN will carry another women's hoops matchup just five days later, when the Knights take on Rider in a non-conference clash. The final game of the women's basketball slate will feature FDU taking on Wagner on February 18th. 
 
On the men's side, the YES and DAZN's coverage begins when FDU hosts Lafayette on December 4th. The Knights will have five NEC matchups shown on YES and DAZN, highlighted by a date with the defending NEC Champion LIU Sharks on February 20th, as both teams close out their regular seasons. 
 
Another highlight of this year's agreement includes the Bergen County Jamboree, a premier high school basketball tournament long hosted at FDU. The quarterfinal round, scheduled for February 7, will air live on YES and DAZN, produced by FDU's media relations team. The finals of The Jamboree will also be shown, with that date set for February 19. The Jamboree traditionally features several of the region's top-ranked high school programs.
