If you’re scrambling to find your remote because you’re wondering is the clemson game televised today, I’ve got the quick answer for you: Yes, it is. But it’s probably not on the channel you’re used to checking first.
The Clemson Tigers men's basketball team is hosting the Miami Hurricanes at Littlejohn Coliseum this afternoon, Saturday, January 17, 2026. Forget the usual ESPN or ACC Network shuffle for a second. This specific matchup is actually being broadcast on The CW Network. Also making news recently: The Broken Promise Behind the Beautiful Game.
Tip-off is set for 2:15 p.m. ET.
Where to find the Tigers on your TV
It’s kinda weird seeing major ACC basketball on The CW, right? Honestly, though, it's become a regular thing lately. Since the 2023-24 season, The CW has been the home for a big chunk of ACC football and basketball games. Additional insights into this topic are detailed by ESPN.
If you’re local to the Upstate, you’re likely looking for WYCW (Channel 62). If you’re outside the area, just punch "The CW" into your cable box’s search bar. Most people forget that because it's a broadcast station, you can often pick it up for free with a decent digital antenna if you're not into the whole cable or streaming subscription life.
Streaming options for cord-cutters
Maybe you ditched the dish years ago. No sweat. You can still catch the action if you have one of these:
- Fubo: This is usually the go-to for sports fans because it carries almost everything.
- YouTube TV: Reliable and usually has the local CW affiliate.
- Hulu + Live TV: Another solid bet for the local broadcast.
- The CW App: Sometimes you can catch live streams here, but it usually depends on your local market’s rights.
Why this Miami matchup actually matters
Look, this isn't just another January game. Clemson is currently sitting at 15-3 overall and is a perfect 5-0 in the ACC. They are on an eight-game heater.
But Miami? They’re 15-2 and 4-0 in the conference. They've won ten in a row. Basically, someone’s "0" in the conference loss column has to go today. It’s a massive game for seeding later in March, and the atmosphere at Littlejohn is going to be electric, especially since it’s Alumni Day.
The Tigers are coming off a dominant 74-50 win over Boston College where Nick Davidson went absolutely nuclear, putting up 25 points. Miami is high-flying, too, averaging nearly 88 points per game. If Clemson doesn't tighten up the perimeter defense, it could be a long afternoon.

How to make sure you don't miss tip-off
Double-check your local listings now. TV schedules can be finicky depending on your provider. If you're planning on streaming, log in about 15 minutes early. There is nothing worse than an unexpected app update or a "device limit reached" error right when the ball is going up in the air.
If you’re heading to the game in person, keep in mind there’s some construction near the Southeast corner of the coliseum. The usual stairs from the East Burton plaza are blocked, so follow the signs toward the VIP entrance on Avenue of Champions to get inside without a headache.
Your next steps for the Clemson game
