Where to watch Kansas vs. Duke basketball: Channel, live stream, time, TV schedule for men's exhibition game

By Marc Lancaster · The Sporting News · October 25, 2026 · Original article

It's only the preseason, but it doesn't get much better than Duke vs. Kansas, and two of the most storied programs in college basketball will get a national stage for Sunday's exhibition game.

The Blue Devils are ranked second in the AP Top 25 and look every bit of it through a pair of exhibition games. It was no surprise to see them blow out Belmont by 40 in their preseason opener, but it was something else entirely when they ripped No. 8 Tennessee by nearly the same score, 103-64, on Tuesday.

Duke made 12 3-pointers in that one while holding the Vols to 4 of 18 from beyond the arc. Freshman Deron Rippey Jr. (21 points) and Wisconsin transfer John Blackwell (18 points) did most of the long-range damage for the Blue Devils in that one, while four other Duke players also reached double digits.

The Jayhawks, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back after falling at home to No. 11 Louisville on Wednesday. Tre White was the primary bright spot in defeat for KU with 25 points, while Melvin Council Jr. added 20 and highly touted freshman Tyran Stokes had 15 points and a game-high nine rebounds.

Plenty of eyes will be on this matchup even if it doesn't count. Here's all you need to know to watch.
