TNT joined ESPN and Fox, expanding the Big 12's broadcast footprint so that combining linear TV and streaming yields Big 12 games on nine networks during the regular season. The conference's distribution now exceeds other leagues, while the SEC and ACC remain largely tied to ESPN platforms and the Big Ten offers fewer streaming options despite multiple partners. The wider distribution can establish proof of performance across platforms and potentially boost media-rights interest in the early 2030s. Fans may find locating games initially tricky. Kickoff times for Week 1 and special dates were released months ago; remaining matchups and start times will be revealed on Mondays beginning Sept. 8, with most start times announced about 12 days before kickoff and occasional six-day selection windows held late in the season. All times are Pacific. The listed information excludes Week 0 games and shoulder/supplementary content.
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.
