2026 Pac-12 Football Schedule: Dates, Times and How to Watch

Pac-12 Football Schedule

The 2026 Pac-12 Football Schedule marks the first full season of the rebuilt conference. What was once a two-team holding pattern for Oregon State and Washington State has become an eight-team league stretched across five states. Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Texas State and Utah State joined the Beavers and Cougars to form a new Pac-12 that plays a seven-game round-robin in which every team faces every other team once. The result is a compact, competitive schedule that still carries national television windows on CBS, FOX, USA Network, The CW and CBS Sports Network while the conference rebuilds its identity and its brand.

2026 Pac-12 Football TV Schedule Weeks 6–12 Overview

Conference play continues with a clean seven-game round-robin. Every team plays every other team once. Byes are staggered so the league never goes completely dark. Key later matchups include the Milk Can rivalry between Boise State and Fresno State, Oregon State at Boise State, and the traditional Washington State–Oregon State meeting. The round-robin portion of the Pac-12 Football TV Schedule wraps in Week 12, after which the two teams with the best conference records advance to the championship game.

The 2026 Pac-12 Football Championship Game is scheduled for Friday, December 4, on CBS and Paramount+. Kickoff is set for 5:00 p.m. PT (8:00 p.m. ET).

What the New Pac-12 Looks Like

The rebuilt Pac-12 is smaller, more geographically spread out, and still finding its television footing. Yet the presence of established Group of 5 powers such as Boise State and Fresno State, combined with the traditional Pac-12 brands of Oregon State and Washington State, gives the league a competitive core. Texas State’s arrival extends the conference into central Texas, while San Diego State and Colorado State add West Coast and Mountain West flavor. The seven-game round-robin format keeps every conference game meaningful and eliminates the old divisional structure entirely.
