Big 12 Announces Football Early Season and Special Date TV Selections

Fresh off its first appearance in the CFP National Championship Game, the Big 12 along with its television partners ESPN and FOX Sports have announced early season and special date football selections across linear and digital platforms. The 2023 season marks the Big 12’s first as a 14-team league as it officially welcomes BYU, UCF, Cincinnati and Houston on July 1.

The season kicks off on Thursday, August 31 as UCF hosts Kent State on FS1 and Kansas welcomes Missouri State for a matchup on Big 12 Now on ESPN+. The remaining 12 games will be contested on Saturday, September 2, highlighted by two autonomy five outings. CFP National Championship runner-up TCU hosts Colorado on FOX’s opening week Big Noon Saturday matchup, with Big Noon Kickoff onsite to provide pregame coverage. Additionally, West Virginia travels to Penn State in a prime time game.

Another full slate of non-conference games is on the Week 2 schedule with seven of the 14 against A5 opponents. ESPN will feature Utah at Baylor as well as Texas at Alabama. FOX will carry the Iowa at Iowa State rivalry along with Oregon at Texas Tech. The first conference game of the season will highlight Week 3 with TCU traveling to Houston for a prime time matchup on FOX.

Times and television information are also set for the Big 12’s additional six special date selections, which are all conference matchups. Two league games are scheduled for Thursday night broadcasts while four will be played on Fridays, including a “Black Friday” doubleheader as the regular season wraps up over Thanksgiving weekend.

The Dr Pepper Big 12 Football Championship will return to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas for the ninth year. The game is slated for Saturday, December 2 with an 11:00 a.m. kickoff on ABC. The Big 12 had the second-highest attendance of last season’s conference title games with 69,335 spectators. The Championship delivered 9.4M viewers on ABC, the most-watched Big 12 Championship since 2018. It peaked at 12.7M viewers, the most of any conference championship across all networks.

The remainder of the season’s television selections will be announced on a 12-day or six-day notice via Big12Sports. com and the Conference’s official digital platforms.
