Sports on TV: Monday’s schedule features NBA, college hoops, NHL and Australian Open coverage

A packed Monday television schedule offered fans wall-to-wall sports, ranging from prime-time NBA games to college basketball, hockey, golf and overnight tennis. The lineup reflects a mid-winter convergence where pro and college seasons overlap and major international events like the Australian Open push marquee matchups into late-night and early-morning windows for U.S. viewers.

In men’s college basketball, national broadcasts featured Louisville at Duke and Arizona at BYU, with additional conference games available across cable and streaming outlets. Women’s college basketball also filled the evening, including matchups such as Tennessee at Mississippi and Florida at LSU, as teams jockey for conference standings and postseason positioning.

The NBA schedule included games such as Orlando at Cleveland, Portland at Boston, and Golden State at Minnesota, while the NHL featured Boston at the New York Rangers. Golf coverage included a TGL matchup, and the calendar also pointed viewers toward soccer programming, including an English Premier League fixture.

Tennis fans were directed to extensive Australian Open coverage, with broadcasts spanning the round of 16 and quarterfinal windows. As always, listings note that times and availability can shift due to local restrictions or last-minute programming changes, but the overall slate illustrates how many live options are competing for attention on a single winter Monday night.
