A packed conference slate
The Big 12 Conference has unveiled its 18‑game men’s basketball opponent matrix for the 2026‑27 season, outlining each team’s home and away slate.
For Kansas, the schedule calls for six home opponents — Arizona State, Colorado, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, UCF and West Virginia — while the Jayhawks will hit the road against Arizona, BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, TCU and Utah.
In addition, Kansas will meet Baylor, Iowa State and Kansas State in home‑and‑home series, giving the team a balanced mix of familiar rivals and new challenges.
The conference schedule kicks off in early January, setting the stage for a full slate of competition that will culminate with the Big 12 Tournament from March 9‑13 at the T‑Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri.
While exact dates, start times and broadcast partners are still pending, the complete opponent matrix is already published at the conference’s official site, providing fans with a clear view of the upcoming season.
Beyond the conference slate, Kansas is slated to play a non‑conference schedule that includes Fordham, Middle Tennessee State, Kentucky, UNLV, Auburn or West Virginia, Florida, Notre Dame, Houston, Rutgers, Denver, Villanova, Northern Iowa, Missouri, UConn, Ohio State, Indiana State and New Orleans.
