The countdown has begun. The 2025 Big 12 football season has released its official schedule, and it is bound to be one for the books. To make it even more special, the Big 12 is celebrating its 30th football season. This year, 16 programs will battle it across nine conference games.
So, who has the edge? And which team’s path is lined with landmines?
2025 Big 12 Football Schedules by Team
It all kicks off in Ireland. Yes, that’s right, Iowa State and Kansas State will launch the Big 12 season in Dublin for the Aer Lingus College Football Classic on Saturday, Aug. 23. This will be the league’s first Week 0 game and its first competition abroad.
This will be followed by 15 weeks of football, ending with the Big 12 Championship Game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in early December. However, that’s not all the change that the Big 12 is bringing this time.
For the first time, the fandom will get a Big 12 Schedule Reveal Show that will air on ESPNU, FS2, truTV, and stream on MAX and ESPN+. In addition, for the non-conference clashes, the Big 12 teams have 14 matchups against Power Four opponents.
Network partners ESPN, FOX, and TNT Sports will announce kickoff times for the season’s first three weeks. Select games could potentially shift to Fridays, Black Friday, or other special dates later on. So, what do the schedules look like?
