The Big 12 announced the Conference scheduling matrix for the 2025-26 men’s and women’s basketball seasons. 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 to best balance the schedule in terms of travel and competitiveness. A full Big 12 schedule will be released at a later date.
ESPN listed three Big 12 programs among its Top 10 women’s basketball transfer portal winners while three Big 12 women’s basketball signees were selected to play in the McDonald’s All-American Game. Five men’s basketball programs rate in ESPN’s Way-Too-Early Top 25, including three schools in the top 10.
The 2024-25 Big 12 women’s basketball season marked the first time the Conference has had at least five teams finish the season ranked in The Associated Press Top 25 Poll in consecutive seasons since 2010 (2008-10). The league has sent multiple teams to the Sweet 16 in four of the last five NCAA tournaments and has had at least two teams in the regional semifinals in 22 of the last 25 tournaments, tied for the second-highest percentage (88%) of any league during that span.
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.
Both sports will again crown their postseason champion at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City with the women’s basketball event taking place March 4-8/9 followed by men’s basketball on March 10-14.
