About the Big Ten
The Big Ten expanded to 18 teams in 2024 by adding Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLA, stretching the league from the East Coast to the West Coast. The conference no longer uses divisions. Instead, the two teams with the best conference records meet in the Big Ten Championship Game, and the winner earns the automatic league title.
Beyond its traditional Midwest base, the Big Ten now reaches the West Coast as well. In addition, the conference shares official schedules and news on the Big Ten website. Because the league grew to 18 teams, this page is the simplest way to view every member at once.
