The Big 12 is moving to an 18-game conference schedule in 2025-2026, and the conference released the matchups for all 16 games Thursday.
Each team will play 3 teams twice, 6 teams home only, and 6 games away only. Below are the pairings for BYU. Dates will be released at a later date
Home and Away: Texas Tech, Arizona, Utah
Home Only: Houston, TCU, UCF, Colorado, Iowa State, Arizona State
Away Only: Baylor, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Kansas, Cincinnati, West Virginia
Texas Tech should be preseason top 10 and Arizona top 15 — that should be four Quad one opportunities for BYU and a chance for BYU to build its resume for a high seed in the NCAA Tournament. Utah is expected to be one of the bottom teams in the Big 12. Those three teams give a good mix of resume-building and also stacking wins to compete for a Big 12 title.
BYU is also nearly complete with its 13-game non-conference schedule. Below are 12 of the 13 games I know, plus the two exhibitions.
at Nebraska, October 18 (exhibition)
vs North Carolina, October (exhibition, SLC) — this will be after the Nebraska game. My hunch is it will be October 24 or 25.

*vs Holy Cross, November 8 — this will be the home opener, sources tell me
*vs Delaware, November 11
vs UConn, November 15 (Boston)
vs Wisconsin, November 21 (Salt Lake City)
ESPN Events Invitational Game #1, November 27 (Orlando)— Miami, Georgetown, or Dayton
