ESPN announced its broadcast plans for the 2026 Big 12 baseball season, with six games being hosted by a Big 12 team. Five regular-season league games and the 2026 Big 12 Baseball Tournament presented by Allstate’s final game will be broadcast on national television.
Arizona State will host the first Big 12 linear selection against the 2025 regular-season Big 12 champion, West Virginia, on March 29 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. MST on ESPN2.
Arizona, a 2025 NCAA Men’s College World Series participant, will host the Sun Devils in an intrastate rivalry, with the final game of the series slotted for 8 p.m. CT/6 p.m. MST on ESPN2 on Saturday, April 4.
A week later, the Wildcats will travel to Fort Worth to take on TCU on Sunday, April 12. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2 at 2:30 p.m. CT/12:30 p.m. MST.
Both the series opener and the second game between Oklahoma State and Arizona State in Tempe, Arizona will be aired at 8 p.m. CT/6 p.m. MST on ESPN2 on Friday, May 8 and Saturday, May 9.
The 2026 Big 12 Baseball Tournament presented by Allstate will move to Surprise Stadium, the spring training home of the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers, in Surprise, Arizona. The Tournament’s championship game will be broadcast live on ESPNU at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT/6 p.m. MST, while the rest of the Tournament’s games will be aired on ESPN+.
Two additional games featuring a Big 12 team will be shown nationally in February and March. TCU travels to Los Angeles to play UCLA on Friday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. CT/6 p.m. MT and will be aired on FS1. Then Kansas will hit the road for a mid-week contest against Missouri on Tuesday, March 31 at 7 p.m. CT on the SEC Network to wrap up the non-Big 12 controlled games.
