The Big 12 expanded broadcast partnerships with TNT joining ESPN and Fox, creating multi-platform distribution that spans nine networks when combining linear and streaming. No other conference matches that level of network breadth, while the SEC and ACC remain predominantly tied to ESPN platforms. The Big Ten has three partners but fewer streaming options. The expanded footprint allows the Big 12 to establish proof of performance across platforms, which could increase interest in its media rights ahead of the early-2030s cycle. Kickoff times and assignments for early weeks are set; remaining details will be released on a scheduled basis.
The second season of the new Big 12 features expanded broadcast partnerships, with TNT joining ESPN and Fox as the third prong in the conference's content-delivery machinery. Except it's not really three prongs. Combine linear TV (over-the-air and cable) with streaming services, and Big 12 games will be available across nine networks throughout the regular season. No other conference comes close.
The SEC has an exclusive agreement with ESPN and its family of linear and streaming platforms, including ABC. The ACC is also all-in with ESPN, which sub-licenses games to The CW. The Big Ten? It has three media partners, like the Big 12, but fewer streaming options. The arrangement allows the Big 12 to establish proof of performance across multiple platforms, potentially generating enhanced interest for its media rights when they become available in the early 2030s.
But for the uninitiated, the addition of TNT to the lineup this season could make locating games a tad tricky at the outset. As such, the Hotline corralled as many details as possible to offer fans a summary of where, and when, to find Big 12 games. Please note: The following information excludes the Week 0 games (Aug. 23): Iowa State vs. Kansas State in Dublin and Fresno State at Kansas.
