Big 12 Announces 2024-27 Football Scheduling Matrix

DALLAS—The Big 12 Conference Wednesday announced the 16-team, four-year scheduling matrix for the 2024-27 football seasons.

Developed with a priority on geography, historical matchups and rivalries as well as competitive balance, all teams will play one another at least once home and away over four years. Some matchups will occur over three seasons while others take place in all four.

The league maintained the 5/4, 4/5 home away rotation similar to what the Pac-12 has done the last several years to minimize non-conference scheduling disruptions.

Colorado had home-and-home series lined up with Houston (2025-26), Kansas State (2027-28), and Oklahoma State (2036-37) that will now go away and be replaced, and will be announced as soon as available.

The Buffs return to the Big 12 for the first time since the 2010 season and the league will compete as a 16-team conference for the first time after CU and fellow Pac-12 teams Arizona, Arizona State and Utah join. The other teams are Baylor, BYU, Central Florida, Cincinnati, Houston, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas Tech and West Virginia.

Location and dates will be announced as soon as available.
