    (Big 12) – The Big 12 along with its television partners ESPN and FOX Sports have announced early season and special date football selections across linear and digital platforms. The 2024 season marks the Big 12’s first as a 16-team league as it welcomes Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah.

    The season kicks off on Thursday, Aug. 29 with four games before a single game Friday, Aug. 30 when TCU travels to Stanford in a power four matchup on ESPN. The remaining 11 opening week games will be played on Saturday, Aug. 31, highlighted by another power four game as West Virginia hosts Penn State in FOX’s Big Noon matchup with Big Noon Kickoff on-site to provide pregame coverage.

    A full slate of non-conference games will continue in Week 2 with nine of the 16 against power four opponents. Weeks 2 and 3 will also include non-conference contests between Baylor and Utah along with Arizona and Kansas State to fulfill preexisting agreements. The first league outing will be played in Week 3 when UCF travels to TCU on Saturday, Sept. 14 for a prime-time matchup on FOX.

    Times and television information are set for the Big 12’s additional six special date selections, which are all conference matchups and will be played on Fridays, including a “Black Friday” double-header as the regular season wraps up over Thanksgiving weekend.

    The Dr Pepper Big 12 Football Championship will return to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas for the 10th year. The game is slated for Saturday, Dec. 7 on ABC. Last year’s contest totaled a championship game record attendance of 84,523.

    The remainder of the season’s television selections will be announced on a 12-day or six-day notice via Big12Sports.com and the Conference’s official digital platforms.
