Big 12 Unveils 2026 Football Slate, Moves Title Game to Friday Night

The conference is repositioning marquee inventory to stand out on its own night.

Overview

  • The 16-team conference released a full week-by-week slate with each program playing nine league games.
  • The Big 12 Championship is set for Friday, Dec. 4 at 8 p.m. ET at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
  • The schedule features two European games: TCU vs. North Carolina in Dublin on Aug. 29 and Arizona State vs. Kansas at Wembley on Sept. 19.
  • Notable headliners include Notre Dame visiting BYU on Oct. 17, and rotation quirks mean BYU and Texas Tech do not meet in the regular season.
  • Kickoff times and TV assignments will be announced later, and select Saturday games may shift to Fridays in a compressed 13-week season with one bye for most teams.
