The Big 12 Conference is about to light up the basketball court with an exciting TV deal! 🏀
Five major networks are joining forces to bring you an action-packed season of college basketball. But here's where it gets interesting: this is the first time the Big 12 has partnered with so many national broadcasters for its men's basketball games.
The 2025-26 season promises to be a basketball fan's dream, with a whopping 20 games airing on over-the-air networks. FOX leads the pack with 11 or 12 games, followed by CBS with 6, and ABC with 2. Mark your calendars for December 13 when FOX kicks things off with a thrilling matchup between Oklahoma State and Oklahoma.
But that's not all! ESPN, ESPN2, and ABC will showcase a total of 55 conference games, with an extra 11 games available on ESPN+. And if that's not enough basketball for you, FOX and FS1 will bring you 31 more league games.
Now, here's where things get even more exciting: CBS has a prime-time Saturday slot with six games, and they're not stopping there. They'll also air 15 games on their sports network. Peacock and TNT are new to the party, with 18 and 8 games respectively, and TNT's games will be simulcast on truTV for double the excitement.
And the action doesn't stop with conference games. These networks have also picked up non-conference matchups, road games, and neutral site battles, ensuring you won't miss a beat.
The season tips off on January 2 with Iowa State taking on West Virginia, and it all culminates on March 7 with a thrilling finale across multiple networks.
But wait, there's more! A complete list of televised games is just a click away, so you can plan your basketball-filled evenings. And this is the part most fans have been waiting for—the chance to see their favorite teams battle it out on the national stage.
Are you ready for the ultimate college basketball experience? The Big 12 and its partners are bringing the heat. Let the games begin! 🏀
