The Big 12 embarks on yet another new football season, yet now without Texas or Oklahoma who left to the SEC, it adds former Pac12 Members Arizona, Arizona St. Utah, and Colorado to the league. BYU will travel to Utah on Nov. 9, the first time since 2010 that a rivalry that has been played 101 times becomes a conference game, as the two last met in 2021.

Arizona will host Arizona State on Nov. 30 for the Territorial Cup, a rivalry since 1899, and Baylor will play at Houston on Nov. 23 for the first time since 1995, when they were both Southwest Conference members. The Sunflower Showdown between Kansas and Kansas State will be Oct. 26. Kansas will play all six of its home games in the Kansas City area, as renovations continue at the team’s on-campus facility, David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium, and the surrounding Gateway District. The Jayhawks will play Lindenwood and UNLV at Children’s Mercy Park, home to Major League Soccer’s Sporting Kansas City franchise. Kansas will host all four of its Big 12 opponents — TCU, Houston, Iowa State and Colorado — at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the NFL’s Kansas City Chiefs.

“While we had hoped to play these games in Lawrence, the move to alternate venues is needed to ensure that our fans, student-athletes and all constituents have the best possible gameday experience and that we stay on schedule to complete construction for the 2025 season,” Kansas chancellor Douglas Girod said in a statement. “We recognize this move is not ideal for some members of the Lawrence community, and we hope they will understand this is a necessary one-year move to ensure the Gateway District can begin benefitting Lawrence as soon as possible in 2025.”
