Big 12 Announces 2025-26 MBB Conference Opponents

IRVING, Texas - The Big 12 Conference has announced the conference scheduling matrix for the 2025-26 men's basketball season. Each school has a home-and-home with three other conference opponents, and faces the other 12 opponents once, with six at home and six on the road for an 18-game Big 12 schedule.

Opponents were selected based to best balance the schedule in terms of travel and competitiveness. A full Big 12 schedule will be released at a later date.

The three opponents Iowa State will face twice are Baylor, Kansas and Oklahoma State. The Cyclones will host Arizona State, Colorado, Houston, Texas Tech, UCF and West Virginia in home only games, while playing Arizona, BYU, Cincinnati, Kansas State, TCU and Utah on the road only. Arizona State will make its first trip to Ames since 1987, while the Cyclones will play at Utah for the first time in program history.

Five Big 12 men's basketball programs rate in ESPN's Way-Too-Early Top 25, including three schools in the top 10. Big 12 teams led the nation with a 66.7% winning percentage in the 2025 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship, highlighted by Houston's trip to the national championship game. Seven Conference teams were selected to the Big Dance, marking the sixth consecutive time at least six Big 12 men's basketball squads were picked for the tournament.

The Big 12 will crown its postseason champion at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, March 10-14.
