Big XII

Big XII Non-Conference schedules for the 2025-26 season.

Conference Play Overview: After just one season with a 20-game format, the Big XII is shifting to an 18-game conference schedule. This adjustment allows teams to benefit from one or two byes during league play. Under the new model, each team will face three opponents, both home and away, while the remaining conference games will be single matchups—either at home or on the road.

Notably, there is no interconference “challenge” planned for this season.

Conference play is expected to begin in the final week of December and run through the first week of March. The Big 12 Tournament is scheduled for March 11–15 at T-Mobile Arena in Kansas City, MO.
