'''''College GameDay''''' (branded as '''''ESPN College GameDay covered by [[State Farm]]''''' for sponsorship reasons) is an [[ESPN]] program that covers [[college basketball]] and is a spin-off of the successful [[College GameDay (football)|college football version]]. Since debuting on January 22, 2005, it airs on [[ESPN]] Saturdays in the conference play section of the college basketball season at 10 or 11 A.M. [[North American Eastern Time Zone|ET]] at a different game site each week. Before 2015, the [[college basketball]] version always appeared at the ESPN ''[[Saturday Primetime]]'' game location. Since the 2014–2015 season, the show has appeared at a top game of the week, similar to the [[College Gameday (football)|college football version]].  The program has also appeared at the site of the [[Final Four]].

In 2005, the host of the show the first four weeks was [[Rece Davis]], but then the last four weeks [[Chris Fowler]] hosted the show. Since 2006, Davis has been the exclusive host of the show. Since the show debuted, Davis has been joined by [[Digger Phelps]], [[Jalen Rose]], [[Jay Bilas]], [[Hubert Davis]], [[Seth Greenberg]], [[Jay Williams (basketball)|Jay Williams]], [[LaPhonso Ellis]] and [[Andraya Carter]] as analysts. In 2008 during [[Championship Week]], [[Bob Knight]] joined the cast, where he remained until 2012. [[Andy Katz]] has also served as a feature reporter giving up to the minute news and reports.

When ''College GameDay'' tipped off its 7th season on January 15, 2011, the show expanded to two hours, with the first hour airing on ESPNU, followed by the second hour on ESPN.  The first game of the 2011 schedule marked the first time the show has originated from a site that has featured a men's and women's game played in the same day.

Duke – North Carolina is the most featured matchup, appearing 22 times on College Gameday. The next closest is Florida – Kentucky with 8 appearances. Arizona – UCLA, Kansas – Kentucky and Kansas – Texas currently sit at 4.

==History==
The program has appeared in many different spots throughout each basketball arena. At [[Allen Fieldhouse|Kansas]], they were in the program's museum; at [[Rupp Arena|Kentucky]], they were at the entrance of the arena; at [[Harry A. Gampel Pavilion|UConn]], they were on the concourse; at [[McCarthey Athletic Center|Gonzaga]], [[Stephen C. O'Connell Center|Florida]], and [[Bradley Center|Marquette]], they were on the court; and at [[Duke University|Duke]], they were in [[Krzyzewskiville]], the tent village outside [[Cameron Indoor Stadium]]. It is also worth noting that in recent years (except for the Final Four), the morning airings of this program have taken place on the court.

Through the 2023–2024 basketball & football seasons, 42 schools (Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Auburn, Baylor, Boston College, Clemson, Colorado, Duke, Florida, Florida State, Houston, Indiana, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky, Louisville, LSU, Memphis, Michigan, Michigan State, Missouri, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, UCLA, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin) have hosted College GameDay for both basketball and football events.  With the addition of Women's teams also hosting College GameDay, only 4 schools: LSU, Tennessee, UConn And Virginia Tech have hosted both Men and Women's programs.

Starting with the fourth season (2008), the basketball version of ''GameDay'' is broadcast in [[high-definition television|high-definition]] on [[ESPN HD]].

On January 16, 2010, the 6th-season premiere of ''College GameDay'', the show was broadcast live from the site of a women's college basketball game for the first time ever as it made an appearance at [[Harry A. Gampel Pavilion]] on the main campus of the [[University of Connecticut]] in [[Storrs, Connecticut]].  The show covered the women's college basketball game between Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Connecticut Huskies.

On March 9, 2013, ''College GameDay'' had a men's doubleheader from 2 different sites ([[Washington, D.C.]], and [[Chapel Hill, North Carolina]]) for the first time in the show's history.  On January 18, 2014, ''College GameDay'' opened its tenth season with another men's doubleheader, this time, at [[The Palestra]] in [[Philadelphia, Pennsylvania]], and at Gampel Pavilion.

For the 2013 and 2014 seasons, the intro for ''College GameDay'' was [[Macklemore]]'s [[2013 in music|2013]] hit, ''[[Can't Hold Us]]''.

On April 7, 2014, longtime analyst [[Digger Phelps]] announced his retirement and would not return for the 2015 season.<ref>{{cite web|title=ESPN college basketball analyst Digger Phelps is retiring|date=8 April 2014 |url=http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/04/espn-college-basketball-analyst-digger-phelps-is-retiring}}</ref> That summer, [[Jalen Rose]] announced he would not return due to his priorities with [[NBA Countdown]]. As a result of the two departures, ESPN announced that [[Seth Greenberg]] and [[Jay Williams (basketball)|Jay Williams]] would be analysts for 2015 and beyond.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jay Williams, Seth Greenberg tabbed to join 'College Gameday' coverage|url=http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-basketball/story/2014-09-30/jay-williams-seth-greenberg-college-gameday-schedule-team-games-digger-phelps-jalen-rose}}</ref>

On September 30, 2014, ESPN announced that ''College GameDay'' would no longer have a set schedule, just like the football version of the show. Instead, the location will be chosen the week before to give the network a better opportunity to pick games with ranked teams and interesting story lines.<ref>{{cite web|title=Will ESPN's College Basketball GameDay visit Syracuse in 2014–15 season?|date=October 2014 |url=http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2014/10/will_espns_college_basketball_gameday_visit_syracuse_in_2014-15_season.html}}</ref>

On October 8, 2019, [[Jay Williams (basketball)|Jay Williams]] replaced [[Paul Pierce]] as an analyst on [[NBA Countdown]], and left College Gameday.<ref>[https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2019/10/espn-reimagines-nba-pregame-coverage-with-new-strategy/ ESPN Reimagines NBA Pregame Coverage with New Strategy]</ref> [[LaPhonso Ellis]] was announced as his replacement.

On January 10, 2023, ESPN announced it would be adding three women's college basketball shows in one season, equaling the total number of women's games they had done in the show's history, bringing the overall total for women's games to six.<ref>{{Cite web |title=ESPN's College GameDay Headed To Rocky Top For Lady Vols Vs.

LaPhonso Ellis was part of significant ESPN layoffs, ending his three-year run on the show.  It was also announced the Jay Williams would be returning to the show.<ref>{{cite web |title=News: Jay Williams, Jim Donovan, FOX college basketball |url=https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/2023/09/jay-williams-espn-gameday-jim-donovan-fox-college-basketball-tournament/}}</ref>

In the UK, ''College GameDay'' was shown in full during [[BT Sport]]'s decade on air (2013–2023), unless live sport was being aired on all of its channels. In July 2023, BT Sport was relaunched as [[TNT Sports (United Kingdom)|TNT Sports]] following the sale of BT Sport to [[Warner Bros. Discovery EMEA]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Frater |first=Patrick |date=2022-05-12 |title=Warner Bros. Discovery and BT to Launch Sports Venture in U.K. and Ireland |url=https://variety.com/2022/tv/global/warner-bros-discovery-bt-sports-uk-ireland-1235264924/ |access-date=2022-05-16 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref> This saw the cessation of ESPN studio programming and therefore ''College Gameday'' is no longer shown in the UK. The [[College GameDay (football TV program)|football version]] of the show returned in November following an agreement between [[Sky Sports]] and ESPN which sees Sky Sports broadcasting three NCAA basketball games each week plus March Madness.<ref>[https://www.skysports.com/nfl/news/12118/13010262/sky-sports-secure-rights-to-show-ncaa-college-football-until-the-end-of-2024-25-season]</ref> However, Sky Sports has not shown Gameday.

==International broadcasts==
In the UK, ''College GameDay'' was shown in full during [[BT Sport]]'s decade on air (2013–2023), unless live sport was being aired on all of its channels. In July 2023, BT Sport was relaunched as [[TNT Sports (United Kingdom)|TNT Sports]] following the sale of BT Sport to [[Warner Bros. Discovery EMEA]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Frater |first=Patrick |date=2022-05-12 |title=Warner Bros. Discovery and BT to Launch Sports Venture in U.K. and Ireland |url=https://variety.com/2022/tv/global/warner-bros-discovery-bt-sports-uk-ireland-1235264924/ |access-date=2022-05-16 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref> ESPN programming did not transfer to TNT Sports, and ''College Gameday'' stopped being shown at this point.

In November 2023, following an agreement between [[Sky Sports]] and ESPN, College Basketball returned to UK screens, but in a much diminished form with three games shown each week, and this deal did not see the return of ''College GameDay'' to UK television screens.<ref>[https://www.skysports.com/nfl/news/12118/13010262/sky-sports-secure-rights-to-show-ncaa-college-football-until-the-end-of-2024-25-season]</ref>
