The 2025-26 high school basketball season is officially underway!

Longtime local radio stations Ol' Red 99.5 and KWBE - plus our television partners at News Channel Nebraska - have you covered with roughly 75 scheduled broadcasts of high school basketball games featuring schools from Southeast Nebraska and Northeast Kansas between now and the end of March.

The 2025-26 calendar includes complete coverage of the 2026 MUDECAS basketball tournament starting January 13 in Beatrice, and postseason coverage of select local schools that qualify for district play and beyond in February and March. 

All games on Ol' Red will air live on 99.5 FM and online for free anywhere; all games on KWBE will air on 94.7 FM/1450 AM and online for free anywhere; all games on News Channel Nebraska will air live on television (check with your cable provider) or online via the NFHS Network. 

This schedule is mostly official but is always subject to change; it will be adjusted when games are added, removed or finalized, or if start times are adjusted.
