Longhorn Network (LHN) is an American regional sports network owned as a joint venture between The University of Texas at Austin, ESPN and Learfield (formerly IMG College), and is operated by ESPN (itself owned jointly by The Walt Disney Company and the Hearst Communications). The network, which launched on August 26, 2011, focuses on the Texas Longhorns varsity sports teams of the University of Texas at Austin.
Longhorn Network was announced by ESPN on January 19, 2011.[2] The name and logo were revealed during the Longhorns' spring football game on April 3, 2011.[3] It holds the third-tier media rights to the Longhorns, and features events from 20 different sports involving the Texas Longhorns athletics department, along with original and historical programming. The network also features academic and cultural content from the UT Austin campus.
Due to the Longhorns' upcoming move from the Big 12 Conference (whose media rights structure allowed for the arrangement Longhorn Network was established under) on July 1, 2024 to the SEC (whose media rights are owned by ESPN),[4][5] Longhorn Network is likely to wind down independent operations in the late spring of 2024, with its programming transitioning into ESPN's SEC Network.[6]
