Big 12 Unveils 18‑Game Schedule
The Big 12 Conference has officially released its 18‑game schedule for the upcoming season, outlining every matchup for each member school. Among the most anticipated releases is the slate for Brigham Young University, whose return to the league has generated considerable buzz.
BYU will face Utah, Arizona and Texas Christian University on both home and road courts, guaranteeing two meetings with each of those opponents. The Cougars will also host a set of teams that will only visit Provo, including Kansas, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, West Virginia, Cincinnati and Baylor.
Conversely, the Cougars will travel exclusively to meet Arizona State, UCF, Colorado, Houston, Iowa State and Texas Tech, ensuring a balanced road workload.
The schedule also highlights a unique tournament scenario: BYU and Arizona are both slated to compete in the eight‑team Maui Invitational, a non‑conference event that could produce up to three meetings between the two squads before the regular season concludes.
Non‑Conference Highlights
Beyond conference play, BYU has locked in 12 of its 14 non‑conference games, which include exhibitions and participation in the Maui Invitational. The non‑conference slate features contests against Ohio State, Utah State, San Diego State and Northwestern, among others.
Analysts expect BYU to schedule two additional “buy” games in Provo, matches that bring in revenue by inviting external opponents to play on the Cougars’ home floor.
Looking Ahead
With the full schedule now public, coaches and fans alike can begin to map out travel plans, ticket purchases and viewing parties. The convergence of home‑and‑away matchups, tournament exposure and carefully selected non‑conference opponents sets the stage for a competitive season that could reshape BYU’s national profile.
