The Big 12 Men's Basketball Television Schedule for the 2025-26 season has been unveiled, marking the first season of broadcast agreements with five national partners. This exciting development promises an enhanced viewing experience for fans across the nation. With games slated to be broadcast on ESPN family networks (ABC/ESPN/ESPN2), FOX Sports (FOX, FS1), CBS Sports (CBS, CBS Sports Network), Peacock, and TNT, the schedule offers a diverse range of viewing options. But here's where it gets controversial... The distribution of games across these networks may spark differing opinions among fans, as some may prefer the traditional over-the-air broadcasts, while others embrace the digital platforms. And this is the part most people miss... The schedule also includes up to 20 games for over-the-air broadcast, on FOX (11 or 12), CBS (6), and ABC (2), providing a balance between traditional and modern viewing preferences. Men's basketball Conference play begins on Friday, January 2, with Iowa State hosting West Virginia at 8 p.m. CT (9 p.m. ET) on ESPN2, and concludes with seven games on Saturday, March 7, with contests on CBS, ESPN, ESPN2, FS1, Peacock, and TNT.
