The No. 2 Huskies arrive off a 38-1 season that ended with a loss to South Carolina in the Final Four, while No. 5 Michigan will have to make do without starting point guard Mila Holloway, out indefinitely with a left lower-leg injury.\n\nUConn's reigning national player of the year is the headline act here, having averaged 18.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists last season while shooting 58.2 percent from the field and 40.4 percent from three. She has kept rolling in the preseason, averaging 20.3 points across UConn's three exhibition games.\n\nMichigan's lineup leans heavily on guards, which means finding a way to handle UConn's size advantage without its own floor general will be the Wolverines' main problem to solve. The game airs with full TV and streaming details available for fans looking to tune in.","published_at":"2026-11-05T23:34:19.762266+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"How to watch UConn vs. Michigan women's basketball: TV channel and streaming options for November 5","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7756442/2026/11/05/uconn-vs-michigan-stream-how-to-watch-nov-5/"},{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"How to Watch UConn vs. Michigan: TV Channel, Live Stream, Time","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/womens-college-basketball/how-watch-uconn-vs-michigan-tv-channel-live-stream-time-nov-5-2026"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"How to Watch UConn vs. Michigan: Channel, Live Stream & Start Time for Women's College Basketball Game","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/watch-uconn-vs-michigan-channel-113001623.html"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Where to watch Michigan vs. UConn women's basketball today: Channel, time, schedule, live stream for Thursday game","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/where-watch-michigan-vs-uconn-070001849.html"},{"outlet":"The Athletic","publisher":"The Athletic","title":"How to watch Central Michigan vs. Ohio State women's basketball: TV channel and streaming options for November 5","url":"https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7756433/2026/11/05/central-michigan-vs-ohio-state-stream-how-to-watch-nov-5/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"How to watch, stream UConn women’s basketball vs Michigan","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/watch-stream-uconn-women-basketball-175516152.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"UConn women's basketball vs Michigan | Live updates from Top 5 matchup","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/uconn-womens-basketball-vs-michigan-213028292.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"How to watch UConn vs Michigan: Women’s College Basketball, live stream, TV channel","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/watch-uconn-vs-michigan-women-223000293.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://statics.foxsports.com/www.foxsports.com/content/uploads/2026/11/2026-11-05-conn-vs-mich-centerline-1920x1080-1.png","credit":"Fox Sports","width":1920},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
