The Pac-12 Conference has announced it is partnering with USA Sports in a five-year media deal beginning with the 2026-27 season, making USA Network a major broadcast home for the restructured league that includes Utah State University.
The agreement, announced Tuesday, runs through the 2030-31 season and brings regular-season football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball to USA Network. The network will also air every game of the Pac-12 men’s basketball tournament leading up to the championship, which will be broadcast on CBS.
USA Network will carry 22 football games each season, along with 50 men’s basketball games and 5–10 women’s basketball matchups. The partnership gives the conference broad national exposure across cable, satellite and streaming platforms.
“The new Pac-12 is where tradition meets transformation,” Pac-12 Commissioner Teresa Gould said. “We are thrilled to launch this partnership with the USA Sports team and leverage our shared vision to build something unique and special.”
Matt Hong, president of USA Sports, said the network is “proud to partner with the new Pac-12 and showcase the league to a national audience,” adding that weekends on USA Network will be “packed with Pac-12 football doubleheaders and men’s and women’s basketball double- and triple-headers.”
The deal further defines the broadcast landscape for the new Pac-12, which now includes Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Gonzaga, Oregon State, San Diego State, Texas State, Washington State and Utah State.
For Cache Valley and Northern Utah, the agreement means Utah State football and basketball fans will see an expanded national television footprint. Pac-12 football home games will air across CBS, The CW, CBS Sports Network and USA Network, with the championship game on CBS. More than 70% of men’s basketball home games will be televised on the same networks, and women’s basketball will be featured on The CW and USA Network.
Pac-12 Enterprises will produce more than 150 broadcasts annually for the conference’s media partners.
Oregon State and Washington State will continue operating as the Pac-12 through the 2025-26 season under an NCAA grace period before the incoming members officially join in 2026-27.
