About the Big 12
The Big 12 has reinvented itself into a 16-team coast-to-coast league, adding four former Pac-12 programs in 2024 to go with the schools that joined a year earlier. For 2026 the conference plays a division-free schedule and sends its top two teams to the Big 12 Championship Game. Tap any team to see its full 2026 slate, or grab the printable team list.
Beyond the expanded roster of schools, the Big 12 now spans four time zones. Furthermore, the league posts official news and standings on the Big 12 website. Because so many programs have joined recently, this page is a handy way to keep the full membership straight.
