The Big 12 Conference unveiled its 2026‑27 men’s basketball schedule on June 11, laying out a full slate of games for each member school, including the University of Kansas.
Schedule Overview
Kansas will navigate a balanced slate of six home‑only contests, six away‑only battles and three home‑and‑home series, giving the Jayhawks a mix of familiar rivals and new challenges.
The home‑and‑home opponents for Kansas are Iowa State, Kansas State and Baylor, while the home‑only slate features Arizona State, Colorado, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, UCF and West Virginia, and the away‑only opponents include Arizona, BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, TCU and Utah.
Specific dates, start times and broadcast partners will be released in the coming weeks, but the framework already signals a demanding road ahead for Bill Self’s program.
The Jayhawks finished the previous season at 24‑11, advancing to the semifinals of the Big 12 tournament and the Round of 32 in the NCAA tournament, a performance that has raised expectations for the upcoming campaign.
Adding to the roster, Kansas will welcome freshman Tyran Stokes, while returning standouts Kohl Rosario and Paul Mbiya look to build on their sophomore successes.
The conference tournament is set for March 9‑13 at the T‑Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri, where the Jayhawks hope to add another title to their storied history.
