The newly reformed Pac-12 will kick off its football season in 2026, and a new partnership with USA Sports means the conference games will reach an even wider audience.
According to the Pac-12, USA Network’s USA Sports broadcasting will air 22 regular-season football games, 50 regular-season men’s basketball games and five to 10 regular-season women’s basketball games through the 2030-31 season.
These games will be broadcast on CBS, the CW, CBS Sports Network and USA Network.
“The new Pac-12 is where tradition meets transformation — a unique opportunity in the rapidly-evolving college sports landscape that strongly aligns with the go-forward vision of USA Sports,” said Pac-12 Commissioner Teresa Gould. “We are thrilled to launch this partnership with the USA Sports team and leverage our shared vision to build something unique and special.”
The Pac-12, which now includes Boise State University, Colorado State University, Fresno State University, Oregon State University, San Diego State University, Utah State University, Washington State University, Texas State University and Gonzaga, will also be permitted to produce the broadcasts with its own Pac-12 Enterprises.
“USA Sports is proud to partner with the new Pac-12 and showcase the league to a national audience on USA Network,” said Matt Hong, president of USA Sports. “Our partnership further establishes USA Network as a destination for all sports fans, with weekends packed with Pac-12 football doubleheaders and men’s and women’s basketball double- and triple-headers beginning next fall.”
According to ESPN, USA Sports is a part of the USA Network and will also include The Golf Channel and CNBC as its programming.
