MOSCOW, Idaho – Alongside ESPN, the Big Sky Conference today announced the selection of Idaho's February 19, 2026, game at Portland State for linear distribution on ESPNU. What could feasibly be a contest between two highly touted teams by that point in the year will now be broadcasted nationwide from the Viking Pavilion in Portland.
The matchup, slated to tip-off at 6 p.m. PT in the Rose City, features two of the top four teams in both of the Big Sky preseason polls, and four of the six players on the Preseason All-Conference team. It is set to be the lone league regular-season contest on a linear network in the 25-26 season.
