Pac-12 kickoff times and TV networks are (mostly) set

May 27, 2026 - 22:46

The last major piece of the puzzle for the new Pac-12 conference is now in place. League officials announced the kickoff times and television assignments for the upcoming season's home games, giving fans a clear schedule to mark on their calendars. The release covers the majority of the conference slate, though a few games remain under a flexible timing window that will be determined later in the season based on network selections.

The broadcast partners include a mix of traditional over-the-air networks and cable sports channels, ensuring broad national exposure for the rebuilt conference. Several marquee matchups have been slotted into prime time windows, while other games will kick off in the afternoon to avoid competing with major national broadcasts. The schedule was designed to maximize viewership and give each member school a fair share of high-profile time slots.

Coaches and athletic directors have praised the clarity the schedule provides, allowing them to plan travel and preparation routines well in advance. For fans, the announcement ends months of speculation about when and where they can watch their teams compete. The conference emphasized that the remaining flexible games will be announced no later than 12 days before kickoff, a standard practice across college football.

With the schedule now set, attention turns to training camps and the start of a new era for the Pac-12. The season opener is expected to draw significant interest as the conference looks to establish its identity and compete for national relevance.
