Overview

  • The extension runs from the 2026-27 season through 2030-31 and names CBS Sports as the conference’s primary media partner.
  • Under the deal, CBS will air at least three regular-season football games and three men’s basketball contests per year, with both championship games also streaming on Paramount+.
  • Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Utah State and Gonzaga are set to join in 2026, raising league membership to eight schools.
  • With Gonzaga lacking football, the Pac-12 must add another football-playing institution to meet NCAA FBS criteria and Texas State is considered the leading candidate.
  • Financial terms of the CBS agreement were not disclosed and the conference remains in talks with other networks to complete its media rights lineup.
