UW Men's Hockey

press release: No. 14 Wisconsin men's hockey, fresh off a road sweep at Notre Dame, opens home action this Thursday and Friday and fans can catch the games live on Fox Sports Wisconsin.

The two games against No. 6 Michigan mark the first two of four Badger hockey games set to air on the network. Both will begin at 6 p.m. CT. Both of this week's games will also air on Fox Sports Detroit.

Fox Sports Wisconsin will also carry the Badgers' games on Nov. 28 and 29 against Arizona State. The Saturday game begins at 7 p.m., while Sunday's contest is a 4 p.m. start.

All four games will also stream on BTN+.

ALSO: Wisconsin men's and women's basketball and men's and women's hockey home games will be played this season without fans in the stands for an indefinite period of time, UW Athletics announced Nov. 11.

Similar to the approach Wisconsin Athletics is taking with Camp Randall Stadium, fans will not be allowed into the Kohl Center for basketball or LaBahn Arena for hockey due to the COVID-19 pandemic. UW had announced earlier in the fall that there would be no season tickets for basketball or hockey this season and season ticket holders have already been refunded or are in the process of being refunded.

The Badgers men's hockey team opens its season at Notre Dame this weekend before returning home to host Michigan on Nov. 19-20 at LaBahn Arena. The top-ranked UW women's hockey team begins its season with two series on the road (at Ohio State on Nov. 27-28 and at Minnesota on Dec. 4-5) before making its home debut against Minnesota-Duluth on Dec. 11-12.

The men's and women's basketball schedules will be released soon.
