Big East
Big East Non-Conference schedules for the 2024-25 season.
Conference Play Outlook: The Big East plays a full double-round robin format (20 games) to determine a true regular season champion. Pairings and dates will be available later this summer.
Big East - Big 12 Battle: Each conference added member schools since the start of the original agreement. The Big 12 hosted six games this past season, and the Big East will host six contests in 2024-2025. Broadcast arrangements for the contests will be determined by the national television rights holder of the home team, which is FOX Sports for the Big East and ESPN for the Big 12.
Gavitt Games Over: The 2023-24 season marked the end of the Gavitt Tip-Off Games, which began in 2015. Most of the Big Ten would take on eight Big East members annually as part of the scheduling alliance. Going forward, league members will have even more flexibility with their non-conference strength of schedule.
