ESPN and the NCAA have reached a new, eight-year agreement beginning Sept. 1, 2024, for NCAA championships media rights. The deal—valued at $920 million, or $115 million annually—includes domestic rights to a record 40 NCAA championships—21 women’s and 19 men’s events—and international rights to those same NCAA championships plus the Division I men’s basketball tournament.
The new agreement expands the sports network’s longtime relationship with the NCAA, which has broadcast NCAA games since ESPN’s inception in 1979.
