SAN RAMON, Calif. (AP) — 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's and women's basketball games and the women's hoops title game starting in 2026-27.
The contract, announced Wednesday, will begin next season when the Pac-12 adds six schools, and run through 2030-31.
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.
Pac-12 Enterprises, an offshoot from the now-shuttered Pac-12 TV network, will produce the games for The CW.
The Pac-12 had previously announced a deal with CBS that will place a slate of games, including the football and men's basketball title games, on network TV.
It was the league's inability to secure a long-term deal that sparked an exodus and nearly killed off the Pac-12.
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.
