The Pac-12 Conference extended its media contract with The CW Network in a deal that calls for the network to carry 13 regular-season football games, a combined 50 men\u2019s and women\u2019s basketball games and the women\u2019s hoops title game starting in 2026-27.<\/p>\n

The contract, announced Wednesday, will begin next season when the Pac-12 adds six schools, and run through 2030-31.<\/p>\n

It extends a partnership that began last football season with the network carrying games involving Oregon State and Washington State, the two schools that remained in the league after a huge round of realignment in 2023.<\/p>\n

Pac-12 Enterprises, an offshoot from the now-shuttered Pac-12 TV network, will produce the games for The CW.<\/p>\n

The Pac-12 had previously announced a deal with CBS<\/a> that will place a slate of games, including the football and men\u2019s basketball title games, on network TV. <\/p>\n

It was the league\u2019s inability to secure a long-term deal that sparked an exodus and nearly killed off the Pac-12. <\/p>\n

Since then, the league has added Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Gonzaga, San Diego State, Texas State and Utah State. The addition of Texas State brought the Pac-12 to eight football schools, which makes it eligible for the College Football Playoff starting next season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FILE – The logo of the Pac-12 on Dec. 1, 2023, in Las Vegas.
