The Pac-12 Conference and CBS Sports have extended their media partnership through the 2030-31 season.
As part of the deal announced Monday, CBS will broadcast the Pac-12 football and men’s basketball championship games and at least three regular-season football and men’s basketball contests each season starting in 2026-27. The games will also be streamed via Paramount+.
“Our goal with this process was to find transformational partnerships for the new Pac-12, and throughout our discussions and time together it became more and more clear that a partnership with CBS Sports would be just that,” Pac-12 commissioner Teresa Gould said in a statement.
Additional Pac-12 football and men’s basketball regular-season games will air on CBS Sports Network, with details announced at a later date.
“As the new Pac-12’s primary media partner, CBS Sports’ top-tier coverage will showcase the best of the conference’s football and men’s basketball games annually across our platforms, including the championship game for both sports,” said Dan Weinberg, executive vice president of programming at CBS Sports. “Extending this partnership strengthens our multiplatform college football and basketball schedule and, at a pivotal moment for the new Pac-12, allows us to collaborate, grow the conference and expand its reach.”
Pac-12 membership has been radically altered since a 2024 realignment saw 10 of 12 members depart, leaving only Oregon State and Washington State.
The “new” Pac-12 launches in 2026-27 with the additions of Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Utah State. Gonzaga is also coming aboard for sports other than football, and multiple reports have cited Texas State as the favorite to become the Pac-12’s eighth football program.
As for the 2025 football season, the Pac-12 announced in April that all of Oregon State’s and Washington State’s home games will air on either CBS Sports, The CW Network and ESPN.
