NEWPORT NEWS, VA — The Atlantic 10 Conference announced today the league’s full 2023-24 men’s basketball schedule. Each of the A-10’s 15 teams will play 18 conference games which will help set seeding for the conference tournament, which will be played in March. The winner of the A-10 Championship will earn an automatic bid into the 2024 NCAA National Championship Tournament.

Saint Louis University’s conference slate will begin on January 3, 2024, with a home game at Chaifetz Arena against Loyola Chicago. The Billikens will play nine home conference games, which will include matchups against longtime rivals VCU (Feb. 16), Richmond (Feb. 28), and Dayton (March 5), as well as contests against Saint Joseph’s (Jan. 10), Davidson (Jan. 24), Massachusetts (Jan. 27), Fordham (Feb. 3), and George Washington (Feb. 24).

The SLU athletics department also announced in a statement that it will be releasing its nonconference schedule in the coming days.

The A-10 league office also released on Wednesday, the conference’s national television schedule, which will include 79 nationally televised and digitally produced games. The league was also proud to announce that every home game will be available to A-10 fans across the league’s three media partners: ESPN, CBS Sports, and NBC Sports.

For the 15th straight year, the Atlantic 10 Men’s Basketball Championship Final will be broadcast on the CBS Television Network as a part of the network’s overall Selection Sunday coverage. The game will also stream live on Paramount+.

Saint Louis will have at least 13 games broadcast on national television — 10 of its 18 conference games and the three games the Billikens will play in the Myrtle Beach Invitational in November. It’s also possible that other SLU games could get selected for national broadcast, depending on how the season goes and the importance of that particular game.

The Billikens will play in two A-10/ESPN Friday Night Showcase games — both against VCU — on the road, at VCU, on January 19 and again at Chaifetz Arena on February 16. SLU’s entire A-10 schedule is listed below.

The SLU basketball local television package, broadcast on Bally Sports Midwest, will be announced through the school at a later date. And all Saint Louis men’s basketball games will be broadcast via radio through KMOX 1120 AM.
