Why are ESPN, Disney-owned networks not appearing on YouTube TV? Here's what to know, including how to watch impacted men's college basketball games:

Texas, meanwhile, is entering a new era. The Longhorns fired coach Rodney Terry after an exit in the First Four and hired former Xavier coach Sean Miller to lead the program. Texas said goodbye to star freshman Tre Johnson, who was selected No. 6 overall by the Washington Wizards earlier this summer.

Bells ring, campuses crowd and intramural pamphlets pile up. Well, symbolically — schools have already been in session for at least two months. But men’s college basketball is now officially back, and Monday launches us into a 2025-26 season with undeniable pull. The incoming freshman class is loaded; the field is wide open.

The Texas Longhorns face the No. 6 Duke Blue Devils in the Dick Vitale Invitational on Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025 at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, N.C.

While the companies are at a standstill, they are both losing money by the day. According to Awful Announcing reporter Drew Lerner, Disney is losing approximately $5 million per day that its networks are not on YouTube TV, which has become one of the biggest television streaming platforms in the country.
