IRVING, Texas – The Big 12 Conference has released the 2026-27 Monster Energy Big 12 Men’s Basketball Conference schedule. Each program will play a home-and-home with three other Conference opponents, and face the other 12 opponents once, with six at home and six on the road for an 18-game league schedule.
Big 12 regular season play opens on Saturday, Jan. 2 with all 16 teams in action and closes on Saturday, March 6. The season then culminates in Kansas City for the 2027 Phillips 66 Big 12 Men’s Basketball Tournament at T-Mobile Center Tuesday, March 9 to Saturday, March 13.
Tip-off times and television assignments for the Big 12 schedule will be announced at a later date.
The Big 12 saw eight teams qualify for the 2026 NCAA Tournament with three schools appearing in the Sweet 16, and league champion Arizona advancing to the Final Four. The Conference then had a historic showing at the 2026 NBA Draft with a Conference-record 13 overall selections, a league-record nine first round selections and the No. 1 and No. 2 overall picks in BYU’s AJ Dybantsa and Kansas’ Darryn Peterson, respectively.
The 2026-27 Big 12 season will again feature some of the nation’s premier young talent with six incoming recruits ranked in the top 25 of the class of 2026, including three in the top five, according to 247Sports. 247 also ranks five Big 12 schools in its top 25 high school recruiting classes for 2026.
The college basketball season will open on Monday, Nov. 2.
