Just six of the 31 regular-season matchups for the Bruins will not be available on television or streaming to be viewed live this season. B1G+ will showcase one regular-season game on November 15, and Big+ is an additional fee on top of having the Big Ten Network. Bruin fans can look forward to more regular-season games streaming on Peacock, NBC's premium service, this season, as they are now members of the Big Ten conference.
FOX and FS1 are set to broadcast at least five of the Bruins' fifteen matchups and games this season. BTN will feature and broadcast seven live UCLA matchups and games.
Peacock is set to broadcast ten games featuring UCLA basketball. The Bruins will face off against New Mexico on November 8th, and that game will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network. On December 14, fans can catch the exciting matchup between UCLA and Arizona, which will be a non-conference game this year on ESPN 2.
The matchup between Gonzaga and UCLA will be televised nationally on Fox. Four conference matchups will also be held on January 4 at Nebraska, January 10 at Maryland, February 14 against Indiana, and February 28 at Purdue and these four games will also be seen on national television on Fox. The Bruins's top rivalry game against USC is on March 3, and it will be aired on FOX or FS1.
UCLA fans can first see the Bruins play on national television on November 4, when the Bruins kick off their season against Rider University live on FS1.

One of the UCLA 's teams that is not doing as well this season is the UCLA football team. Unfortunately, the Bruins, after winning their first game, have lost five straight games and are winnless in the Big Ten this season.
They do have an opportunity to get a much-needed win this upcoming weekend as they travel to play Rutgers. If the Bruins were to win this game, as some have predicted, they will not only get their second victory of the season but also their first Big Ten conference win as well.
From coast to coast.. It’s almost time. 🥶

Lastly, here is a great story on the Jaquez family.
